Should I trust Spybot?

I just installed Spybot and it said it found 52 forms of spyware on my computer. They look like cookie trackers or things like that. I'm not sure. Should I uninstall them? Here are some of the Names, Aornum, Adviva, Advertisting.com, Avenue A, Sex Tracker, XXXToolbar.

If I remove all of them, will it do something bad?

I assume it was the right version of Spybot. I went the Microsoft's home page and went from there to Download.com. It looked a bit amateurish and included something in his FAQ's about who is the most wonderful girl in the world (his girlfriend Sandra Klass). Is that the real Spybot?

I haven't removed anything yet. Will wait for advice.

Does having Spybot slow down your computer?

Does Zone Alarm do the same thing as Spybot or something different?
