There's a recommendation that you uninstall or disable other antispyware or
security products while installing Microsoft Antispyware, but otherwise I
don't remember hearing about conflicts here.

If you have a virus, you need an antivirus. Here are some online antivirus
scanners which can help do a one-time cleaning of your system:

Much of the advice and the videos at these URL's is applicable to your

Bill;

I have found that I leave open a very few programs. This eliminates the
conflicts. Some good ant-spyware programs require that you uninstall what
they call conflicting programs. When that happens I don't want that program
after all it's my computer and I control what is on the machine and runs.

But I run all the anti- programs one at a time and never more than one at a
time. This has eliminated any conflicts that might exist.

I only keep open my zone alarm pro and my nod32 to check email. I run most
of my anti programs at night when I'm not working with other productive
programs. I have had no freeze ups or conflicts using them this way.

None but the two mentioned above open when I boot up.

How does this sound to you?

 

[Bill Sanderson]

Well - a number of installation routines I've seen--most recently something
that I ran today on a Mac G5--can't recall just what--recommend that you
disable antivirus real-time scanning during product installs, and I can say
that I have seen reports of issues with that.

The recommendation is to do this just during the installation of the
product, and not afterwards.

I don't normally remember to do anything special during installs, and have
installed Microsoft Antispyware on dozens of machines without taking that
precaution. There was one post here, however, of a perplexing install issue
which turned out to hinge on a misunderstood blocking prompt from a
third-party product ocurring during the Microsoft Antispyware install.

I've found that there is safety in keeping as few programs open as possible
while installing new programs.

Different strokes....

 

[Bill Sanderson]

Yep. There's safety in keeping as few programs open as possible period.
Especially all those little critters that hang out in the system tray. The
machines I work with mainly are corporate desktops, and they stay pretty
clean.

I have SpySweeper, MS AS 1.0Beta, SpyBot Search and Destroy, Spyware Gaurd,
etc... all installed and running at the same time. And no problems. In
windows XP home and Pro. Though I did make sure that none of them were
running during the install of MS AS 1.0 Beta.
