What are the current anti-spyware/malware options?

I've been running Spybot S&D and Adaware for some time and have not kept up to date as to whether they are still considered ok.

Should I be looking elsewhere? Needless to say, I'm only interested in free-to-download stuff.

Make sure you use the IMMUNISE feature in SPYBOT (Stops nasties at the source)

Thanks for the advice.

Is there any web-based comparison site?

Not for spyware that im aware of. But I can say with confidence that Malwarebytes and Superanti spyware are the best you can get for free
