Vista conflicts?

[College Park]

Hello every one,

This is my first post at the forums though have been using Spybot for a few years now.
On one of my machines running Win XP has no issues with Spybot 1.4.
But on my Dell XPS running Vista Home Premium I have issues with Spybot 1.4, as the download of updates is slow…….is it coz Windows Defender has some conflicts with it or clashes /blocks it??

I would like to know if Spybot is compatible with Vista OS & what version etc.

Hoping to hear from you smart people,

Regards!!

Just to add, on both the machines I have Spybot 1.4, with SD helper for IE 7.0

Do not have the Tea Timer running on any of them.

Plus have AVG 7.5 on both as well.

Hope it helps!

Regards!

Try Spybot 1.5.

You have suggested trying Spybot 1.5.

I use Spybot 1.4 on my other machine which I mentioned earlier running Win XP MCE with no issues.

My query is has any one used Spybot with Vista without any conflicts??......if yes than questions like which version & what features to be turned on & does Spybot & Windows Defender have some conflicts?

Regards!

Spybot 1.4 doesn't really work well with Vista. Get 1.5. I'm using it with Vista without problems.

I noticed Windows Security Center while viewing screen shots of Spybot 1.5......http://www.safer-networking.org/en/s...d15/index.html.

Where did Windows Defender disappear (which usually is there in malware protection) after installing Spybot 1.5.

Does one have to remove Windows Defender before installing Spybot 1.5??

Did you remove Windows Defender or Spybot 1.5 took its place automatically, in the Vista Security Center?

What features of Spybot 1.5 do you have on like SD helper for IE etc?
