Any problems with having McAfee & Spywareblaster on same computer?

Jump to solution

Good afternnon everyone,

I was considering possibly downloading Spywareblaster (and not using the automatic update selection) to further enhance my existing computer security.  From what I have read in a Spywareblaster tutorial, this program would appear to be very good at improving my IE8 browser security.  The tutorial did not mention any potential problems.

I presently have McAfee AV (provided by my ISP free) and Malwarebytes (free version) installed on my computer.

My questionAre there any problems (or potential problems) with having McAfee AV, Malwarebytes (FREE version), and Spywareblaster on the same computer?

Thank you for your time and review of my inquiry!

Pete,

I have it installed on mine with auto-updates on and no problems.  SB also improves Firefox security if you have that browser.

I also use MBAM free.
