Hi guys, new to the forum. Hopefully you can help.
For years i have run AVG (running 8.0 at moment)-Lavasofts Ad Aware & spybot search and destroy.
I tend to run ad aware first and the S&D. I never had any trouble before but recently i have been getting incompatibility warnings between the 2.
Should i be thinking about changing some of the help software i run or binning Ad Aware or S&D. I have seen something called hosecall65 mentioned in a couple of magazines recently any thoughts.

I am running a vista home premium 32bit system if that helps

There shouldn't be any incompatibility problems despite the warning about AdAware. The story was that AdAware might tend to find malicious entries in Spybot, which is really Spybot-SD's Quarantine (Spybot keeps a backup of the removed entry in case something goes wrong).

So you can safely ignore the problem. :santa:

FYI, Spybot-SD queries should be posted in the Spybot-SD forum. Not the Tavern.

There should be a 'Ok' and a 'Ignore' option, if I'm correct during the prompt.
