Is my system clean?

Question

I had a spyware problem recently.I have a couple of anti-spyware and anti-malware stuff and I cleaned up my PC.When I scan now,there's
nothing found,and the initial spyware is quarantined.Also,in the "processes" window of the Task manager there was something running which was obviously something that had to do with that spyware (I know all the processes that are running normally and also this appeared as soon as the spyware was installed).So I stopped it and deleted the corresponding file from the disk.

In the end everything seems to be ok, but people all over the internet tell that removing malware from your PC is not an easy story...
Is there a possibility that there is a spyware-problem in my PC even that AVG anti-spyware,AVG anti-virus,Lavasoft Ad-aware,and Spybot show nothing after the scan?!?!
