Spybot and System Mechanic Professional Compatible?

[Allokai]

Hello. I am looking over Spybot Search and Destroy and am considering downloading it. However, I already have System Mechanic Professional, which contains Iolo Antivirus, I believe. Is Spybot compatible with System Mechanic? Also, if I have System Mechanic, will Spybot find things it does not? I'm not very well-versed with these sorts of programs - I just want my computer to run fast and be safe from infections/viruses/etc. ^_^

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.
