Default Other Installed Programs


Now that I have the MS Antispyware should I uninstall
AdAware and Spybot and any other Antispy programs on my
computer?

I wouldn't think that you should. Have them plus Spyware Blaster
installed, also. It would be nice to know if there are any conflicts
with other SW programs, right ?

I'm keeping mine and running them. They are not BETA
versions.

I am running it along with SpywareBlaster, Spybot Search
& Destroy, as well as Ad-aware with no conflicts at all.
It's not uncommon for one engine to find something that
the other misses so I always use more than one anyway.
However it would be nice to be able to rely on one
software package instead of having to use multiple
programs to clean up after each other.
