    I just started using SAfeXP then heard about XP-antispy, which is better and can they both be used on one computer at the same time without causing problems.

    You can only have one anti-virus and firewall installed and running without any clashing....but....you can run all the spyware programs you want!! In factr...as far as spyware is concerned...the more anti-spyware programs you use...the better off you are!!!!

    Xp-Antispy and SafeXp are tweaking apps rather than Antivirus/Firewall apps..... Rog ;)

    They can be used together but you would be best off looking for which one offers more options and going with that as IMO too many tweaking apps can confuse the options turned on/off unless you make a note of each change.

    You can have 2 antivirus on your computer, BUT if they both have real time scanning then you have to turn one off!!!

    Never have two real time scanners runnning at once.
