By default Spybot S&D ignores New.net unless the user unchecks the box for New.net in the "Ignore Products" setting as does many others including Microsoft antispyware. See here:

You have to remember, just because a program ignores a certain pest doesn't mean your not infected with it. Just like many of them ignore WhenU now, but WhenU is adware.
It's also very possible freeze.com changed their screensaver bundled software practices, it's been about a year since I looked at one.
Like I said just read the fine print.
