Can you use Windows Defender and Spyguard/SpyBlaster together?

Can you use Windows Defender and Spyblaster with Spyguard together? Will they clash?

Thanks

I recently installed spyblaster but I am not sure whether to install spyguard since it has some bad reviews. What do you guys think?

With the combo of spyguard and spyblaster, can they detect a spyware that is in your system? or do you need another spyware remover?

Hello,
I use Spybot Search & Destroy, Lavasoft Ad-Aware, and Spyware Blaster...no problems. I don't trust anything made by Microsoft dealing with Security, so I always use third Party Software. I hope that this helped. Take Care...Happy Holidays!!!

I heard that spyguard is a bad software with many ads. Is this true? I have installed spyblaster but not sure whether to install spyguard.

What do you guys think?
Thanks

I can't tell which programs you are asking about for sure. Spywareblaster(http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html) is ok but don't know what spyblaster is. Please give links to company web site for both. For info on rogue spyware programs see http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm
