    Please go to the following link and read about XoftSpy: http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm

    We do not recommend using it.

    To answer your question, yes those are spyware but do they really exist is the question. Where are they being reported in the registry. They could be entries being used to block those spyware problems and related URLs and XoftSpy is reporting them as bad. There are also quite often little remants of spyware left in the registry that are basically harmless and that don't really need to be cleaned up.
