Hmm... :eek: after i have read the post that you gave me, i tried to download the soybot s&d to my computer. Amazingly, my norton av 2007 doesn't manage that it is "incompatibility" and need me to remove it. :eek: Then i try something that i scan the spybot s&d with my norton. Still... nothing happened. :heart::heart::heart:


:red:: so, does it mean that the "incompatibility" problems has already been solved?

There never was any real incompatibility between Norton and Spybot. People installing Norton were answering messages from TeaTimer incorrectly so that Norton was not being installed properly. Symantec decided to indicate in their installation process that the two products were incompatible to eliminate the problem.

You can not only install Norton Antivirus/Internet Security 2007 with Spybot installed as long as you answer the TeaTimer registry change pop-up correctly, but you can also reinstall Spybot after the installation of Norton Antivirus/Internet Security 2007. See the following Symantec support article:
Message: "Spybot - Search & Destroy has detected an important registry entry that has been changed." when installing Norton Internet Security 2007
