Are there any system issues from using Ad-Aware SE 6 Personal on XP Home SP2?
What are the pros and cons?
 
The pros are that it will help in the fight against spyware.. it needs help
though..

Spybot Search and Destroy.. http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html

Spybot has the ability to immunize a system, but there is better for this
function, so download and run Spyware Blaster too.. again, check for
updates..

No problems with my system. What I would like to know; is it necessary for a
system running on xp home sp2 to have ad-aware se personal installed or other
anti-spyware software, (is sp2 enough considering sp2 is more a security
update)? Are there any foreseeable incompatibilities? Any other possible
issues? What anti-spyware softwares work best with sp2?
Thanks,
