Widgi Toolbar
 
Spybot S&D tells me (following the very latest update of definitions) that the' 'puter is infected with Widgi.toolbar. (Which I'm told could be used to mine information from my 'puter inc. financial data).

It tells me there are two entries in:
Common files\spigot
Common fiiles\spigot\search settings

But it can not fix the problem.
- I've tried another anti-malware/spyware program & it wasn't even found.
- Microsoft Security Essentials & Safety Scanner; didn't find it
- No sign of it in the Add / Remove Programmes or Revo Uninstaller

Anyone any suggestion to rid the 'puter of it - or to confirm if I have it.
The manual deletion suggestions seem rather complicated for someone as 'puter illiterate as myself.

Thanks.

Thanks,
I've done stage 1 and removed a lot of cack other stuff hasn't spotted before.

Stage 2 downloaded - will run over night I reckon.

Cheers again.

Smitfraudfix should only take around five minutes
Combofix maybe 10-15 at most

The Malwarebytes scan is the long one - that could take an hour or two
