MS Spyware shows my system is clean whereas Scan Spyware
and Spy Doctor free scans show tafbar, 2020, and GoHip in
the registry. Of course one has to register to remove
these. I am now confused as to whether I have a
problem??? Like MS Spyware, SpyBot and Ad aware don't
shoe show anything either.

What might be the motivation of a software vendor to detect *something*
on your system, if, by detecting it, they can make a sale?
