How authoritative is this site?

I wonder just how accurate webroots spyaudit is?.I just scanned and it says i have "brilliant digital" adware installed ,yet no other adware/spyware scanner detects it ,i.e adware/spybot/pest patrol etc.Ive also searched manually for signs of it and see no traces at all.Apparently webroots spysweeper (spy audit)has false positived on the malware it says was on your computer...

You know better than I do what's really on your machine, but I haven't been impressed by Webroot's Spyware detection software. I run an enterprise edition of Spysweeper on one of my laptops and it is prone to false-positives. In fact, I was alerted to having a version of the CWS trojan, but the program's audit trail is poor.
