I just wanted to ask. What's the use of having Anti-Spyware and getting rid of spyware, if it's just going to come back on your system anyway ?? I always have about 70 objects on my PC everytime I scan, after I've gotten rid of them before. Thanks for any feedback.

Too much infections can slow down your computer and even damage you system. not all of infections are low risk. so if you want your computer to work normal you should control levels of infections. there are always infections but dont let them get you

Many things detected by antispyware programs are just cookies that are a normal part of moving around on the internet. If you want to take the time to set your program up, you can probably give it instructions on how to exclude some of the cookies that you really want to have on your system. Other things detected are files in temporary file locations that have been loaded onto your computer to help something run faster.

Clearing those things out reduces the amount of disk space your system needs to store files for those kinds of activities, it may reduce some of the startup things which will help your system startup more quickly, and it makes a real problem easier to find when one does occur. Also you never know when a problem will occur. My Spysweeper has been cleaning temp files and deleting cookies for several months. A few days ago it found and blocked something that could have been a much more serious problem. That's the security purpose-making an effort to prevent a problem from getting on your computer in the first place.
