Can I do away with SpyBot, Ad-Aware, yahoo anti-spy, pop-
up blocker also MSN pop-up blockers etc. Will Micorsofts
new spyware allow me to not have to use these anymore?
Regards, J

At least keep Ad-Aware and Spybot S & D. At least while MSAS is in beta.

The best concept for system security is to have multiple
overlapping defenses. If something slips through one,
then hopefully the next defense catches it.

As far as I know, there is no pop-up blocker built into
Anti-Spyware.

I am running all of them together on one of my test
boxes, and they are all cohabitating happily.

I've never used it so I can't really comment.
BTW, alpha comes before beta. This is out of alpha, if there was one. What
you mean is RTM (Release to Manufacturing).
