I would say that is a lot of spyware, and a pretty damn good test.
The other thing to note here is that Giant does not list ALL the entries it findes as separate. There may be numerous entries for each found file. Rather, Giant lists a file under it's spyware name, then places registry key's for example, under the same heading. Other products boost the found spyware numbers by counting all the entries found, as well as non-critical objects such as most recently used files.
Regardless of personal oppinion for or against the software, it is a darn good product for finding, removing and preventing spyware from getting on your system.
