I have McAfee anti virus program running on my computer.
Is this incompatible with microsoft spyware or can I have
both of them without being concerned?
 
I agree with Larry--you need both. Antivirus applications are starting to
look at spyware as well, but you need them to do their primary job of
removing viruses and preventing new infections.

You need a firewall, antivirus protection, and to keep up to date on
critical security patches via autoupdate and Windows update. Those are the
basics. In addition to those, Spyware removal and active protection is a
good additional step to take.
 
Are you also beta testing McAfee's anti-spyware offering
or just running their anti-virus software?
