Yes!
When OptOut or similar talk about "Spyware", what they actually mean is "Adware", like the banner ad system from Aureate / Radiate that puts advertisments into software applications.
While there are some known privacy concerns with Adware, these are nothing compared with real Spyware. Consider the difference between being protected against adware (what Adaware does) which sends out demographics and banner clickthru ratios and being protected against spyware (what X-Cleaner does) that transmits every keystroke, logs every password you type... and you will see the difference in importance and "steath level".
X-Cleaner also includes functionality to remove Adware.
