its absolutely safe and in fact a neccessity these days to use an antispy/antitrojan along with an antivirus. i suggest adaware antispy and ewido anti-malware. do use it. scan ur pc in safe mode for best results.
also it would b helpful if u were to post ur hijackthis logfile here or in www.hijeckthis.de for analysis.

www.processlibrary.com --> will clarify ur doubts on DLL files
PS) AVG free will turn into a annoyance software. It actually fails to repair but wont allow u to work on sys. Any how use it untill u face a virus. |

About AVG, well its there just as I need antivirus else I never get infected untill someone else not using my PC .
About DAP... well I have Flashget also. DAP is ther in case of some specific needs. And btw... why do we need to install new software in order to get rid of some unwanted stuff.. ie. we are installing something unwanted to get rid of some unwanted.. Can't we do it manually.. Though I am downloading ..
