How much spyware do you have on your machine?

Well, I recently found out a program that supposedly would sniff out any and all spyware on my computer. Naively, I thought I did not have any... I found 318.
For all those who do not have one ( maybe I was the only one? ), I recommend Aluria's spyware eliminator.
My computer sure runs faster now!

Ad-Aware.
Search&Destroy.
Use more than one just to be sure!

i just ran the free trial of that aluria scanner, it found 2 things
Then ran the unbeatable duo of spybot+adware and it found like 30+ items including those 2 aluria found..
the aluria thing wouldnt even remove them till you buy the product, it just shows you them. why pay move when adware and spybot are free ?
