McAfee compatible with MSN Webroot antispyware?

[Guest]

I recently switched my ISP from Comcast to MSN. Comcast included "free"
McAfee privacy, firewall and virus scan and this security package is still
running on my computer with Windows XP SP2. I am having no problems with pop
ups or anything like that since switching to MSN but now I have no icon to
scan specifically for spyware. With Comcast, I was getting a lot of
quarantined websites in their spyware package and I was able to delete these
sites and add them to my disallowed internet options list (these "hits" did
not start until my grandson went to some web sites I would never have
visited). I want to know if it is ok to install MSN Webroot with McAfee
still running on this computer so that I can continue to monitor the spyware
situation? The McAfee subscription doesn't expire until late 2007. I read
through the MSN discussion group on spyware and saw nothing to address this.

Hi Mom;
This is not really the right discussion forum for SpySweeper and McAfee
concurrently, but you should be able to get away with this from what I've
seen, as long as the SpySweeper version being offered by MSN is still at
the 4.5.x level (at SS version 5.0.x and above all bets are off)... see/try
