Is it possible to combine Kapersky Personal Antivirus 6.0 with Spybot S & D and Spywareblaster ?

Referring to my post here, just want to clear all the myths about combination.

Antivirus and Spyware cleaner work independently and there is no reason you can't "combine" both of them (probably I shouldn't use the word combine as there's no integration whatsoever between the two, they work totally independently)

samurai1337, you might be wrong also. There was one case where an AV conflicted with an anti-spyware program. So, even if they work independently, sometimes, programming conflicts is inevitable.

Guys,
you should always be careful of the security products out in the market. There are several cases of pretenders trying to look legit.
This sample taken from f-secure blog http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/ar...6.html#00000945 tells you about the scams going on.

natakaasd is right.For example try using Windows Defender or Spy Sweeper together with KAV 6.0.0.303.They'll conflict with each other.

But,most of them are safe.Only some are not.

i have Windows Defender & KAV 6.0.0.303 in my system, ok-ler...

Probably the anti-spyware comes together with antivirus functionalities?

The difference between spyware and virus can be quite obscure nowadays, there's no clear cut definition between the two (although the difference exists technically, but people often use it interchangably).

Agree with you that conflicts can be unavoidable, but it doesn't mean you've to worry about the combinations all day just to avoid for a conflict that don't happen frequently

Well, I must agree that paranoia is not good for health.(Joking) No,anti-spyware comes together with antivirus functionalities is not what I mean. I mean like an AV company labelling an AS(anti-Spyware) as a virus or so. Thus, removing it or causing it to crash and malfunction...(you know those cases...)

vote again for:

1.) Kaspersky Personal Pro 6.0

2.) F-secure

Go to AV-comparatives, many tests among AV were conducted, surprisingly norton leads in many testes although many -ve feedback were heard, could be due to its fame huh

AV-Comparatives gives a very comprehensive stats on performance. By being a reputable brand doesn't mean you can pull higher in the charts. They are not bad in the signature testing category but trails badly in heusristics.
Makes you wonder with the extra computing resources Norton requires, is it worth it?

Norton --> PC-CILLIN --> AVG --> NOD 32

PC-CILLIN failed to detect viruses that infected my computer, had to format my HDD. Norton did a "better job" by detecting viruses but did nothing to save my system, not to mention it's memory hogging too. Stay away from NAV unless you want to send your rig on its way to its afterlife ASAP =P AVG is ok, it is free after all, the drawback is that the GUI is extremely ugly (IMHO) and the update manager is buggy. NOD32 is the best AV I've ever used so far, using it together with ZoneAlarm Pro and Ad-Aware Personal. Talk about being kiasu/kiasi ... hehe

kaspersky was my 1st choice but it slowed down my pc

thus, i choose Symantec Antivirus + Webroot Spysweeper

1. Nod32

2. Kaspersky

Im using kaspersky now. Works really nice

I'm using Kaspersky, so far didn't give any error .

Kaspersky and NOD32. Testing Avast one more time though...

Yes indeed im worried , since im using spybot s & d and spyware blaster , thinking of getting an AV , but i see some of them has the anti-spyware function , im scared if they crashes?

natakaasd , may i know what kind of internet security are u usin?

I'm using Kaspersky... AVG....and Spyware Blaster. Ad-aware too.

Bcoz my computer had been formatted due to Spyware.

Very worry...that's why a lot of AV softwares.


My pc is currently running Kaspersky & AVG on my system only.
Spyware blaster/ad-aware is optional.

Would it be conflict with Kaspersky & AVG running together?

why do u run to AV ? lol , of course it doesnt work.
