I would suggest that you reinstall the program. This should put a new copy of unins000.msg in your system. Then go through the process of unistalling.
If that does not work then do a search for AdwareSpy and delete all the files/folders shown. You also have to delete AdwareSpy from your registry. The quickest way is to download regseeker and use it's search facility to locate all entries of AdwareSpy. Before starting the search make sure that you tick all the boxes so that the search is throughout the whole of the registry. When the search has finished, highlight all the AdwareSpy entries, check that the backup box is ticked and delete. Reboot.
