guys

I heard that if you run spybot and ad aware together it will mess up your machine because one thinks that the other is spyware. Does anyone use both programs and havent had any issues

Although I don't personally, I know people that do. I've also seen lots of members here reccommend using both as they sometimes miss files that the other one gets.

The Hunter · February 24th, 2004, 04:41 PM

I run both and have had no problems, as well a number of members here do the same.

Yup, I do the same. Spybot had an update yesterday too, and it found some new stuff adaware didn't pick up.

I run both....with no conflicts.

What a bunch of crap :]

Dont worry about your little gossip you hear over the internet, they both work together and both get other things the other ones miss.

No way to go wrong with that combo :D

I run both.

Actually that "crap" Omyn was true, at one time. It was either Spybot had a false positive for ad-aware or vice versa. It was because of the backup files it made, and when searched within the zip, found the deleted adware/spyware.

But yes, both for me, and no problems!

ok thanx guys for the advice

Lord_of_the_Dense · February 24th, 2004, 11:08 PM

I run both..typically AA, followed by SB. Never been a conflict yet.

Mullyman · March 25th, 2004, 02:25 PM

The recommendation from top security publications is to use the two together...Adware misses certain things that Spybot finds and vice versa...i use both and i also use Spysweeper

The only problems I have ever had with conflicting programs is Mcafee and Norton. I ran them together by accident and had to reinstall XP. As far as adaware and spybot they are compatible with each other.

Spyware blaster is a nice program that prevents some nasties from ever being installed. http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

lil_amb · March 25th, 2004, 02:53 PM

got rid of both when I installed Spysweeper and it found 213 traces right after they didn't....

The Hunter · March 25th, 2004, 03:04 PM

The Hunter · March 25th, 2004, 03:10 PM
