Shouldn't be a problem installing both. Most of the regulars here (AFAIK) have Ad-aware & Spybot S&D installed.
There is a tutorial available online:
Spybot S&D tutorial = http://spybot.safer-networking.de/index.php?page=tutorial
Ad-aware How To = http://www.lavahelp.com/howto/index.html
and their FAQ and tips = http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?showforum=29
Using Windows 98se , IE5.5 sp2 and slow dial up modem
connection nothing else avabl in my area.
Wondering about installing adware and or spybot. Do I need both and is it difficult to set these programs
up. I do not want to mess up my system ( old Dell sys )
any suggest and or help hints sure be appreciated.
Thanks
