Spybot Compatibility

[thomast77]

I have been running Spybot and AVG free for many years. I was recently told that running resident shield from two programs might actually conflict and reduce your protection. So do I need to turn off Resident shield on one of these programs? Or are the two compatible?
Thank You for your time and Best Regards

Hello,

There should not be any problems with the compatibility.
If some parts would conflict, just those parts could be disabled.

That's the way to to disable the resident feature of Spybot - Search & Destroy: run Spybot-S&D, switch to the "Advanced mode" via the menu bar item "Mode" --> hit "YES" --> select "Tools" in the navigation bar on the left --> "Resident" and there you can untick the check boxes in front of the two tools.
