NIS 2005 Antipsyware Edition (Beta) and MSAS

has anyone tried Norton Internet Security 2005
AntiSpyware Edition (beta) alongside with Microsoft
Antispyware (beta) are there any compatibility issue?

I would not recommend running a beta alongside a beta. Yes, I have heard
about Symantecs foray into the AntiSpyware business, but like I said, I
don't recommend testing beta alongside beta because of the possibility of
unknown conflicts that will give problems solving.

Two betas would be dangerous at best. I would trust the MSAS far more than
the Symantec beta as Symantec has been going downhill over the last few
years.

Well, its not necessarily that, but just running a multitude of betas on a
system can hav hazardous effects.

Compare it with to run more then one antivirus app with real
time protection.

I cant understand users that want to try Njortons bloaty
software.

For a long time ago Norton have a great app called PC tools.

it doesn't matter, Norton works perfectly for me, but for
the unlucky one find security appz that works for you.
Every suite is bloaty. if anyone is looking for a really
effective suite my pick is NIS 2005.

Well, I am not looking for suites, I am looking for effective
security apps for different purposes.

If you are happy with Norton som go on with their apps.

I personally prefer Norton Corporate Edition, very expensive though compared
Symantects retail solutions.
