What exactly is Spybot scanning?

My recent scan today searched almost 54,000 objects. Can anyone explain where exactly these objects are located? I mean, are these objects in a directory on the hard drive, or are they entries in the registry? Should all these objects be deleted occasionally to keep the clutter to a minimum?

Thanks for the assistance.

Sincerely,

Brian
 
If you're looking at the things flashing by next to Running bot-check at the bottom of Spybot during a scan,it doesn't mean those things are all on your computer,it's just what Spybot is checking for.

Oh, now I get it! I was thinking that my system was becoming overstuffed with junk. Thanks a bunch for the clarification!
