Hi,
I want to thank everyone for the input concerning MSE and other
spyware programs.
As I understand it, I should uninstall spyware blaster since it is
real time and only run SuperAntiSpyware whenever I feel the need
since it will not effect MSE in its operation of spyware protection.
I appreciate all the comments. Take care,
Lennie

I would definitively advise against running 2 *realtime* antimalware
programs at the same time. The conflicts can prove disastrous. As
Andre states, the key here is realtime. The free versions of
MalwareBytes & Superantispyware are not realtime. Spywareblaster is,
though, as is spybott s&d.
