I use Spybot about once a month myself. My system always runs a bit faster afterwards and in general. I have come to the conclusion that no one, program will kill and immunize a PC especially if you are connected to a broadband connection all the time. Staying clear of IE does help too. I use Maxthon as a browser although the new Firefox from Mozilla is awesome too. All of these can be found at www.download.com and www.zdnet.com . I may be wrong but it seems to me that we have to live with a compromise of some of this spyware junk being active just as small viruses are always attacking our human immune systems, but few actually couse more than a sneeze.
