I find Adaware removes more spyware than spybot although I do scan with the latter also.It's a free download

Another program I use is Spywareblaster which doesn't scan your computer but helps stop spyware being downloaded.Again a free program.

As Martyn said earlier make sure you do the updates and keep your virus protection updated too.
