[don77]

you can try adding them one at a time and if the performance of the machine starts slowing down you will want to uninstall the last one you just installed

Glad to hear everything is working for you

[uptown hunk]

Hi don77,
i downloaded n installed IE-spyad..all was fine till then but when i tried i tried ad-aware 2007 after a while my windows live-one care gave the warning to take immediate action (ie to uninstall ad-aware ) because it may interfere with it and not work properly and my pc is at risk...I belive it will say the same foe the other anti-spyware programs u mentioned like syware blaster etc...Is there any other alternative to make my pc more secure....???
