As Ewido has good detection rates, try to check with an other program also to find out if you _realy_ have spywhere on your system. Try a-squared free (http://www.emsisoft.com/en/) if it finds something.

Also keep in mind that spyware could not the only reason why your machine is getting slower and slower. I recommand the thread GENERAL Virus and Trojan removal Instructions (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=50662) from Blackspear.

Makes me thinking that Ewido does not catch those hits. What are they? Real Malware or mostly cookies?
