Hi

I have looked through the forum messages and seem to get conflicting information on the compatability of SpyBot with NIS2007.

I have NIS 2007 - can I install SpyBot and will it work?

Hello,

Norton states that our software Spybot - Search & Destroy is incompatible with theirs.
We have tested Norton and we didn't get any problems with Spybot-S&D.
Here are similar experiences from other users:

If you install Spybot-S&D after the installation of Norton there won't
be any major problems. Symantec itself is suggesting this procedure:

This link now goes to an error page on the Symantec site. Something about discontinued products.:sad:

Try the following link:

Hi

Many thanks for the links (both) - I shall uninstall SpyBot and reinstall it after NIS2007.

BTW I don't use the Tea Timer function so maybe I will have no problems.
