XP Home SP2 and Anti-spyware applications

[Guest]

I'm using XP Home SP2 and the lastest versions of Norton SystemWorks and
Norton Internet Security. How well do these Anti-Spyware programs work
alongside both
Nortons. Are there any issues I should be aware of? I've read conflicting
reviews on all these programs. Could someone please provide a detail
response .

You should post your questions in one of the groups specific to the beta

AntiSpyware is being provided through the following Microsoft

My question does not relate to the MS AntiSpyware program, it is more in
general. For example Ad-aware, Spybot, and others. As mention, I've read
conflicting reviews on each program. Definitely would appreciate a good
response.

Sorry, I misread your question then. Here's your original post:

"I'm using XP Home SP2 and the lastest versions of Norton SystemWorks
and Norton Internet Security. How well do these Anti-Spyware programs
work alongside both
Nortons.  Are there any issues I should be aware of?  I've read conflicting 
reviews on all these programs.  Could someone please provide a detail

How well do what "Anti-Spyware programs" work? Which programs do you
mean? You didn't specify. If you mean the normal malware removal tools
general recommended by me and others: Spybot Search & Destroy,
Ad-aware, etc. then the answer is "just fine". Post back with a more
specific question about a specific program. What "conflicting reviews"?
