Uninstall Spyware Doctor and Spybot. MalwareBytes and AdAware are both suitable.

I Googled Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender - both are anti-virus programs provided by Microsoft. If you haven't paid for them you can remove them too leaving just AVG (you shouldn't be running more than one AV program anyway - they fight with each other)

AdAdware doesn't need to start when the machine does.

The other thing to check is to see if you have hidden files selected or if they are unhidden. To do this open Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > View > Show hidden files and folders. If they ARE hidden, after you uninstall all that other software rerun the MalwareBytes scan. Your AVG is up to date, right?
