Hello People
i had problem with MS beta that it scanned and turned up
nothing, then i tried erasing tracks, and nothing
happened. i posted this proble here, and someone
seggested i go for a third party antispyware. So i tried
mcafee it too turned up nothing (please do not waste ur
money on that) Any how, i turned back to beta again, then
i read reviews about spybot S&D, well it turned up 5 main
problems (as it calls what it finds) and three of them
cookies and two other, which MS beta and mcafee had
ignored. (However, when i was installing spybot, MS beta
churned out two warnings.)
my question is it ok to run both of them together, can
they both work together or leave the hunting to one
another.

It is fine to run both of them together.

I think if you read more, you'll find that 99% of detection differences
involve cookies. "Data miner" is another name for a cookie.
