It's fine to have more than 1 anti-spyware program on your machine. JUst
be aware that only 1 should be actively scanning in "real time". Others
can be used "on demand".

I use Spywareblaster to "immunize" the machine. It does not use any
resources, other than the registry modifications on which it relies. I
have Spybot and Ad-aware as well, but only use them occasionally in "on
demand" fashion.

I had Spysweeper when it was free with Verizon/MSN. They didn't update the
program when a new version came out, and I thought it was too expensive yo
upgrade. With purchases like that you're on your own when the vendor
decides to release a new version. So, I then went and downloaded the free
version of SUPERANTISpyware. I was so satisfied with it that I paid for
the professional version. Nick Skrepetos is the owner, and is active in

around and you'll see.
