i had both MS Spyware and AOL spyware,ran both and the scans did not find anything,so ran a scan with Spy Sweeper and it found 76 traces of spyware on my computer!!!.Just was wondering is there anything else better than this and if anyone else had got the same results from using it.

Strange what you say about MS Spyware (Panda) I found it missed even some very basic spyware on my system.
Spysweeper found it all and then deleted it without fuss.
I leave Spysweeper running in background and run Adaware/Spybot every week or two.

Microsoft Spyware has nothing to do with Panda.

All of these products give different results because there are no set definitions for spyware, some products leave you feeling they've done well because they deleted a load of cookies and the like that could barely be called 'Spyware'.
