Where can I locate spyware on my computer without paying for a subscription to remove them?

Question

I can't pay for spyware subscriptions that found the below on my computer due to financial reasons.  The spyware doctor scanned for them and then wants me to pay $40 to remove them.  I did searches on my c:/d: drives and the searches are not locating where these are on my computer.  Any suggestions to locate these?

application.trackingcookies
adware.advertising
downloader.generic
adware.webrebates
malware.ackantta
trojan.generic
email-worm.ackantta
trojan.fakeav
rogueantispyware.sysguard

Please help me.  Thanks.

Donwload, update and choose a quick scan with Malwarebytes. Forget about Spyware Doctor. It's trash.*
