When I first did a check I had well over a 1000, it depends if it counts cookies as spyware 'cos some of them do and you can have hundreds of them. First time I ran microsoft anti-spyware it came up with loads too.

They are essentially stored websites, images etc.  It is good practice to clear it out regularly.
