Will SPYBOT clash with Spyware Terminator. Will CLAM AV clash with the AVAST?

[jonathank]

I like the latest version of SPYBOT that I have downloaded. It is indeed faster than the previous versions.

I have a question though...

My PC (Windows ME) slowed down some weeks ago and I suspected there might be some worms in there.

I downloaded the latest version of SPYBOT, it found a worm inside. But the PC continued to be slow.

Out of desperation, I then found Spyware Terminator. I installed and run it. It found 4 apps that I think may be causes of the slow-down. I have included them below for your reference. I deleted them. I am happy that they were found and I believe Spyware Terminator managed to find these 4 because it had the deep scanning function. Anyway, that is no fault of SPYBOT...


As I really would like to keep both running on my PC, I have the following question:

1) My question is: Will SpyBot clash with Spyware Terminator?

2)Spyware Terminator comes with an integrated CLAM Anti-Virus as well. May I know if it will conflict with SPybot too?

Seeking your advice...

Hello,

I am not aware of any conflicts between the programs.

Make sure you do not have more than one resident antispyware real-time protection running.

Regarding the title "Will CLAM AV clash with the AVAST", rule of thumb is one Firewall/one AV to avoid conflicts and loss of program efficiency.

Hope that helps. :)
