Seems to be a few mergers of this type lately.

 

I don't use either of them also, however with the complexity of malware these days it doesn't help a company if they don't cover all basis; anti-spyware, and anti-virus. It does sound good though for people who purchase Spy Sweeper because it will detect allot more.
