    Live Onecare and Adaware

    I am using windows Live Oncare. I also like to use other antispyware,
    usually because I have found that only one program is usually not enough to
    capture all spyware. However, Live Onecare reports that Adaware may
    interfere. I use the free version so it is not performing realtime
    protection, just on demand scans. Does anyone know if this is truly a
    problem or just Microsoft pouting about me using a competitor program?

    AdAware installs a loads a service that conflicts with OneCare, causing crashes
    in the OneCare program. Lavasoft even acknowledged the problem on their forums -
    sorry, I don't have a link to that handy.
