"CAUTION: BOTH PROGRAMS DO NOT..."
On what do you base that statement?
Myself as well as many others use both successfully.

The caution is unwarranted.

They Do??? Ad-Aware thinks that Spybot's backup files are junk, deletes them
and then confuses Ad-Aware??

There was a very short time, early in the release of both products, that
this was an issue. If you are having problems of this sort, then you
have very out of date executables and/or you haven't updated the
reference files since forever - or both.

They do. Do not run simultaneously, but running first one then the
other can show up some fresh items

This is complete nonsense. I, and many others, use both
successfully all the time.

Depends on how you run them. Don't run them at the same time, or while (at least) the other is in an open state. Run one, close, then run the other. They actually work very well together.

You are what we in the IT industry term a ****wit. That is complete and
utter bullshit. The problem, if, indeed, it is a problem, hasn't been an
issue for years (literally). You can't have updated in about three at least.

Get your facts straight before posting complete garbage.

I suppose that the original poster has disappeared into the woodwork by now.
Geeze Louise, but we spent a lot of time on this...

Complete, absolute, and utter nonsense. Where did you ever get such a
silly idea? I use both, and always recommend that others do so as well.
