This is a subject that you will never get a straight answer on, because every one has their own opinions and preferences.
Personally, I recommend MSE.
Have to agree with Jonathan MSE or malwarebytes is a another good option
Malwarebytes.org

spybot used to be an excellent program back in the day, however after not using it for a number of years a while back I installed it just to see If It was as good as I remembered. And unfortunately I found it to be rather buggy. So anyway, it was good for it's time, but now there are a number of better solutions out there in my opinion.
I would recommend Malwarebytes for starters. Then go with MSE or even Avast.
Take Care
Spybot is crap. MSE is an anti virus. So if you install MSE, you'll need an anti spyware app like malwarebytes or superantispyware. ThreatFire features innovative real-time behavioral technology that provides powerful protection against both known and unknown viruses, worms, trojans, etc...
Regardless of the definitions, I trust that Malwarebytes, and MSE will do the necessary job. Of course, you will need a firewall, but thats all that will be required.
That being said, no virus/malware software will do the job if not used in conjuction with common sense.
MSE is excellent - as far as I have experienced. Catches trojans immediately. Spybot ok for scanning, but not as good as SAS (SuperAntiSpyware). MSE activates the Windows firewall. A router firewall (in addition) is even better.

True.MSE claims it is anti-spyware, at least.
and is!
