Re: Spyware

Hi espantoe,

I wouldn't advise that, as both programs will be 'fighting' for the files.
Run Spyware Blaster™ first; then, SpyBot S&D.

Kind Regards,

Re: Spyware

SpywareBlaster does not "run" in the same way as other security software. It doesn't monitor files for infections, it makes changes to your system files to block malware and restrict the actions of websites.

You just need to update it every week or so and enable protection for the new updates, then close it. It doesn't need to be running in the background, so it's perfectly safe to use other programs like SpyBot.
