How do I determine which pieces of identified spyware should be deleted.?

I just installed Yahoo anti-spyware and it identified 55 pieces of spyware. Also, a box popped up warning that some of those pieces of spyware should not be deleted. So, how do I know which ones should or should not be deleted-with nothing more to judge by than the name of each individual piece of spyware?
