Spyware

[Evan]

Is Microsoft's Beta anti-spyware compatible with Spybot
Search and Destroy and Ad-Aware SE Personal which I also
use on my computer?

Yes I have been using all these products together without any problems on my
machine.

Yes, and keep them as redundant programs.

One thing about Spybot, it might be a good thing
to uninstall SB beacuse of the teatimer function.
This function is not needed when you also
have a realtime protection with MSAS.

MSAS and Adaware SE is a perfect kombination I believe.

Yes, although in the past there have been some minor false positives
involving a Spybot Search & destroy feature.

It depends on what you are doing. I have all of them but run them only one
at a time to avoid conflict.

In any case the MS program is a beta and should be run as a test model only.
If you have no experience with testing a beta you might want to wait a while
until a later beta or the final release.
