| 330662 | 2005-03-05 00:49:00 | I agree tweak'e. And a good idea to run CCleaner before anything else so the progs have less to scan through. | mark c (247) | ||
| 330663 | 2005-03-05 01:36:00 | i have had the missfortune of trying to open adaware while spybot was running. total pc crash...........so......I just HAD to try this am actually running both scannign now as I type this......they seem to be running happily, (perhaps the Hyperthreaded P4 2.4ghz cpu helps ? ).......I would concede that it's better to run one AFTER the other as one may pick up probs that the other doesnt' and yes two programs trying to remove the same spyware at the same time could be interesting..... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 330664 | 2005-03-05 02:12:00 | perhaps the Hyperthreaded P4 2.4ghz cpu helps ? also the fact i'm runing 98se ;) |

| 330665 | 2005-03-05 20:01:00 | i have had the missfortune of trying to open adaware while spybot was running . total pc crash . the other thing that can happen is the scanning enigines can do a few werid things (including crashing and not working at all) when they are scanning the same thing at the same time . i usually find its best to run one at a time . the AV usually picks up the really nasty spyware anyway which makes life easier for spybot/adaware . Agree with that . . . on other people's computers, that is . ;) :D Did my own little experiment and opened Adaware whilst Spybot was doing its thing and they both ignored each other . So far, so good . . . Fired up and got Stinger into full swing then, for good measure, invited Avast to the party . All socialised happily with each other and I was even able to play around with Virtual Dub whilst they did their thing . PC is a Pentium 4 2 . 4GHz with 512MB RAM running Windows XP SP2, no hyperthreading or any fancy schmancy stuff . Conclusion: It can be done, depending on the system and, possibly quite importantly, what the tools find - might be a different story on my beast if they actually found anything dodgy on it and started fighting over who was to clean it . :D |

| 330666 | 2005-03-06 01:49:00 | Well, I ran AVG and Adaware at the same time, can't see why there is an issue for it. I wonder if I run 2AV and Spybot and Adaware at the same time, what would happen? PC is running 512MB DDR RAM with 3.0GHz with HT. | Renmoo (66) | ||
| 330667 | 2005-03-06 02:42:00 | runing 2 av together is a big no-no. not only could they crash but they could run but fail to detect anything ie cancell each other out. concidering most antispyware progs are fast becoming similar to antivirus the same advice should hold true to antispyware progs. |
