Instead of mixture try familiarity with several! There's no one program for everything. Some new bug will always find a way to slip past existing protections on a system. That's why someone has to come out with a special remover on occasion.
While Pondo is being a run at the moment Grisoft's AVG 7.5 will top both Norton and McAfee put together. Ad-Aware SE Personal now has a competitor seen in Spyware Terminator that also includes a mild firewall. Webroot's Spy Sweeper shareware lists "false positives" in order to pressure you into buying the full retail version.
Spybot S&D does see better reviews over Spy Sweeper by a long shot. For additional protection a firewall like Jetico or Comodo usually works for freewares. Replacing IE 6 with IE7 will go further in avoiding bogus sites with trojan downloaders keeping more crap off of your system by safer browsing habits.
