Live Onecare and Adaware

[Guest KHogle]

I am using windows Live Oncare. I also like to use other antispyware,

usually because I have found that only one program is usually not enough to

capture all spyware. However, Live Onecare reports that Adaware may

interfere. I use the free version so it is not performing realtime

protection, just on demand scans. Does anyone know if this is truly a

problem or just Microsoft pouting about me using a competitor program?

AdAware installs a loads a service that conflicts with OneCare, causing crashes

in the OneCare program. Lavasoft even acknowledged the problem on their forums -

sorry, I don't have a link to that handy.
