I think I may have found a solution, just open up MS DOS Prompt and enter the following:-

del {6A85D97D-665D-4825-8341-9501AD9F56A3}.*

Click enter and there shouldnt be any error messages and Im pretty sure it goes away, I typed in del CWS_NS3.* in MS Dos Prompt and it never came up in Spy Sweeper again =D
