Both are inadequate by themselves to prevent all possible spyware. I suggest you use both and if possible MS Antispyware and Spyware Blaster too.

I have been doing exactly as drvarunmehta suggested, for a very long time.
Spybot, Ad Aware, MS Antispyware (now MS Defender) and Spywareblaster, of course along with AVG Free and for at least 2 years never had any problem.
But as is often said in the forum, judicious selection of sites you visit and care in opening mails is very important.
