Hi Dinesh, based on my own experience I use both Spybot, i dont use the resident tea timer but i do use the browser immunisation (Which has blocked me a few times from connecting to blacklistrd links) i also scan my system with it once a week on Wed. when updates are released and re immunise. Also i use malwarebytes as a stand alone scanner as it specialises in polymorphic malware. I recently picked up a badly infected, unpatched computer. After about a week of scanning, cleaning and trying to repair corrupt, missing and broken files i was convinced it was clean but i had read a lot about malwarebytes so i thought i would give it a try. Alas it found another 2 trojans everything else had missed! I then installed it on my Laptop (I am very vigilant about security on my laptop) ran a scan and it found well established malware in my registry that had not been detected by my other security software. Well thats my experience i use both and for very different reasons
