    Two antispyware programs simultaneously

    I know you shouldn't run two antivirus at the same time. But can you run two
    antispyware programs simultaneously?

    Pete - you can run two at the same time, as long as they are light on
    resources and don't conflict with each other. Most of the time you
    can't run two the "big suites" at the same time because they hook so
    many resources, etc.

    For instance, SUPERAntiSpyware is designed to work along side any other
    product without causing any conflicts.

    Just as an aside, I've found that running SUPERAntiSpyware also serves
    as a virus check for me, since afast takes a look at the files as
    SUPERAntiSpyware goes over them.

    I use SpyBot, Ad-Aware, and SAS. On Friday at dinnertime, I start all
    three and run the scans simultaneously. I've never seen any problems.

    Amazing. I meant to say "real time" but this is proof enough.
    I really appreciate the quick loading at boot time of Superantispyware.
