Should I drop webroot spysweeper?

I've been a webroot user for about 3 years now. All it's done for me is block 5 ads in 3 years. I've never had spyware detected in the hard disk scans. I also have Mcafee VirusScan Enterprise + Antispyware Enterprise 8.5 installed. Do you think there's any good purpose to continue running Webroot? I'm thinking of dropping it and running Windows Defender. My OS is Vista.

Thanks.

Dump.I did it after 3 years or so also.

Spyware Doctor starter edition is free and excellent.Doesn't get in the way all the time like Spysweeper either.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I'm going to enable windows defender if it doesn't require microsoft's genuine advantage and hopefully if it doesn't spy on me.
