Are the entries valid spyware programs - or known to be spyware?
I say this because there is a setting in Media Player 10 that trips some spyware detection apps into reporting MP10 as spyware.

In general, it's pretty safe to just quarantine everything a program finds. If something breaks, just restore it from the quarantine. I've never had to do that, though.

If they use the internet a lot, I'd suggest getting a MAC. It has the best security. Those Dells and HPs will get bogged down with all kinds of stuff. Just my opinion. Its debateable.
