    Default Ad-Aware+Spybot

    Is it safe to use both Ad-Aware (WITH Ad-Watch) and Spybot S&D (WITH TeaTimer) at the same time?
    Won't running these both at the same time cause real-time conflicts?

    Have a look here,it says there should be no compatibility issues,but there might be conflicts:

    Opinions vary,but imo,you'd be better off chosing either ad-watch or teatimer,and just using the other antispyware for manual scans.I only enable realtime protection from one antispyware app on my own computer,and disable the others.It's too much confusion if they both pop-up about the same thing.And I don't want two running in the background,possibly slowing me down.

    Hi Zenobia, thanks for your reply.
    I am thinking of updating my Ad-Aware 1.06 SE to Ad-Aware 2007, so that's why I asked in the first place.
    I will keep your advice in mind and hopefully all goes well.
