[Sue Bawden]

I was wondering if it would be ok to download and use the
microsoft beta version of spyware with Adaware 6 and
Spybot or would there be a confliction between the
programmes?

Hi

Adaware 6 is no longer available, update
to latest release. Also Spybot is up with ver 1.4

No 1 and 4 in below URL.

Also watch videos for "quick start".

It is no problem with Adaware but with Spybot, do not use
teatimer or immunize your PC.

Let MSAS handle real time protection and Adaware/Spybot
are great as redundant scanners which also removes tracking cookies
and dataminers.

Also download CCleaner for junk removal within all temporarily folders.

Yes, its ok, I use those three myself. Just make sure you
know what three of them are doing and dont put everything
on "automatically remove...." stuff so you can decide.

Why should you not use Spybot's TeaTimer or Ad-Aware's Ad-Watch with
Microsoft Antispyware? I use all three programs together and have had no
problems or conflicts.

Well, are you using more than one real time antivirus program ?

Within these groups we have reports about conflicts, often
during spyware removals with strange behaviors beacuse
for example tea timer can protect something that MSAS wants to
get rid of.

If you know what you are doing this is no problem but for
normal users this can be confusing and MSAS real time
protection is really strong.

For redundant manual extra scans it is no problem with Adware and
Spybot but when you have different real time protections this can
be really confusing and causing conflicts.

Yes, I do know.

Ad-Watch is "Active" but not "Automatic."

MS Antispyware is "ask me what to do" rather than "automatically prevent all
scripts from running."

TeaTimer is "ask for blocking confirmation" rather than "block all pages
silently."
