Hi, Ive just bought myself a License for the superantispyware Pro programme and have it running with avira premium, This is all i have running in way of security software with realtime protection, BUT windows 7 does not report that i have two antispyware programmes running?? I.E. Avira Premium and Superantispyware Pro?? Is this ok?
No, remove/disable one the Anti Virus programs immediately, they can cause major problems if left running simultaneously and could leave you less protected than just having one.
If you are paranoid about security you should regularly run anti malware programs such as Malware Byte's Antimalware or even if you aren't paranoid it's still worth doing every once in a while.

It is probably an overkill but I think you are OK. Avira is pretty good. I would use SAS for occasional scanning only. Why load up the system with too much constant background activities - Avira alone will do the job.
Are you sure? I have only one antivirus which is avira premium and just bought the pro version of superantispyware, I thought this would be fine as its a spyware? So ive just wasted some cash on going pro on the superantispyware?
Yes it was for the realtime protection, Im not overly paranoid when it comes to security as i know avira does well, Just thought it would be a great added level of security, I will disable the realtime protection on it, Many thanks for the replys, Its very much appreciated.
Hi royal tyrant,
I have arrived late to your thread.
No you haven't wasted your money with SAS Pro. It is a good program & is well respected. My advice is to continue to use it...... [It is an anti malware program.]
Suffice to say - I too run SuperAntiSpyware Pro with a paid Anti Virus Program.
Both run on my system happily together. SAS Real-Time protection is enabled.
