I don't know where you got that information from. Spybot S&D is one of the most highly recommended spyware removal tools - check out some of the computer security sites if you don't believe me. Of course, one package probably won't pick up every instance of spyware, which is why I run Spybot and AdAware in tandem, but Spybot certainly doesn't install anything to the detriment of your machine, and neither does it cause "slowdown and errors".
