    Hi, is it possible, perhaps with certain spyware cleaning software or custom built tools, to remove a piece of spyware that is in a file but to keep the file? So one could clean up the file and use the file after the spyware has been removed, without having to delete the whole file?

    Cheers

    Yes, but there are exceptions. Need any help?

    The spyware is called "winAD", a variant of one called wnad.exe apparently. Would a custom made tool just for this spyware be required?

    Never heard of it. More than likely, not.
