They're similar in the respect they're both anti-spyware programs however each has their own little set of features which some people like, others don't.
Me, personally, after using both am perfectly happy to use SuperAntiSpyware as and when I want to scan and nothing more.0 -
Thats great as I already have this installed.

Spybots IMMUNISE feature actually stops certain nasties from EVER infecting your hard drive. As spybot doesnt actually run all the time (Unlike superantispyware (Unless you switch the resident shield off)), id advise using both.:idea:0
