No, and having two or more is good to do. Just don't run simultaneous scans on them. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

| | Re: antispyware ALL MOST all Malware/Antivirus/ Antispyware programs have a problem when there both enabled at the same time. Even if the are not they will find the Quarantine file of the other program and mark it as a spy ware, this can be by pass by adding the other anti spyware program in to ignore the files in that directory, this is what i did and haven't had any problems since. But when it comes to Antivirus programs its not nearly so simple so I suggests to use just one and delete the other. Good luck. (MIKE) |
