anti spyware "as freeware"

I am wondering if the anti-spyware, that i found on internet, is trustfull.
Each free program i run, found several spyware on my system.
That is a sign, that they fake these problems to get customers.
Who has the same feelings?

It's subjective. Some programs flag on certain programs, while others
consider them semi-legit. It happens with antivirus as well. Some
trojans (e.g. Guptachar and BO2K) are used as legit remote admin tools.

What programs did you run and what was flagged as spyware?
