If I remember correctly, Spybot S & D has realtime protection through Teatimer and SDHelper (go to Advanced Menu and look at Tools->Resident)... I havent used it so I am not sure if this is what you want...

And if you have seen the shooutouts carried out in last year or so, you would know that spybot peformed quite poorly in all of them. In most cases Webroot came on top (other notable one is spydoctor from pctools).
Whatever May be the tests carried and results shown A free product has its Importance till Now which is the best deal

adaware, avg (earlier ewido) are the good freeware anti-spys 2de imo
among paid ones spywaredoctor and spysweeper r good.
a-squared is a great freeware anti-trojan/malware

ya spybot detection rate has dropped, true maybe its author is not motivated enuf these days...
