You can run both at once. As a matter of fact, you *should* run more
than one anti-spyware program. Using one anti-spyware program is *not*
good enough. Eric Howes, who has done extensive testing on
Anti-Spyware products, states:

"No single anti-spyware scanner removes everything. Even the
best-performing anti-spyware scanner in these tests missed fully one
quarter of the "critical" files and Registry entries" See
