You can update to MSE 2.0 without first uninstalling your current version.
However, if you have other real-time anti-malware programs on your PC, they
should be removed, since they might cause conflicts with MSE. However,
anti-spyware programs like Malware Bytes and the free version of Super Anti
Spyware, which are on-demand scanners only, do not have to be removed, and
in fact, complement MSE very nicely. Remember, the key term here is
"real-time". You never want more than one real-time anti-malware program on
the same PC.

Someone had told me you need to uninstall a previous version of MSSE
before updating it. I do know the site says to remove all other spyware
programs before upgrading and i wanted to double check before I do this
because it is a bit of a process. Do you need to uninstall them totally?

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Microsoft Security Essential& other
spywareprograms
Hi,
I just installed the latest version of MSE on my wife's laptop using
Windows XP. I have a couple of questions regarding other spyware
programs on her computer.
She has the free version of SuperAntiSpyware and Spyware Blaster
installed on her computer.
According to the installation of MSE, it was recommended to
uninstall all other spyware programs since I suppose that
there would be a conflict. I think there should not be any other
real time spyware running with MSE which SuperAntiSpyware is not.
However, Spyware Blaster is always running in the background.
Does anyone know if this really cause a conflict and running MSE scan
would create a false positive? For the moment, both spyware
applications are still on her computer and I would like to know what
to do since I will be eventually installing MSE on my desktop XP
computer with the two same spyware application on it.
Any suggestions and help will greatly be appreciated. Thanks and take
care.
Happy New Year to everyone!
Lennie
