Norton 2K5 Seems to really be pulling its weight as well (regarding Spyware, AdWare, and MalWare - not to mention against all types of Virii/Trojans, etc..)
Hope this helps - I would just keep running SpyBot updates and scans on daily basis, along with Norton 2K5 Scans on daily interval.

after you run your norton, go to this site and run the online virus scan. You will see that Norton is NOT pulling its weight.
housecall.trendmicro.com
This is the very best antivirus that I have found.
It will find 95% more than Norton.
PS. if you have the newest version of spybot, set the teatimer to on. That way you get warned for any attempt to change the registry.
