WinDef is a 'real-time' anti-spy (A-S) application and AVG8 is a
'real-time' anti-virus (AV) application; They both work together in
harmony.
Adding additional 'on-demand' A-S and AV application wil not interfer with
the 'real-time' programs.
So, go ahead and install:
Spybot Search & Destroy - Free

--and-- (if you wish)
SuperAntispyware - Free
http://www.superantispyware.com/supe...freevspro.html
Note: If you ever experience problems with AVG8 (a lot of users have) go
for a good quality alternative such as:
Avira AntiVirŪ Personal - FREE Antivirus
http://www.free-av.com/
(The free version won't scan your emails.)

Ensure your e-mail program is configured to display e-mail messages in
'Plain Text' only.
You may wish to consider removing the 'AntiVir Nagscreen'
