   Ben and Jim,   
      
   I regularly use a Limited Users Account in XP and only use a Admin   
   account for Windows Updates and a few other things that 'require' a   
   Admin account to use the software.   
      
   Two weeks ago I logged on to the XP Admin account and got a report   
   message from Spybot Search & Destroy that a McAfee file shouldn't be   
   used in my computer and Spybot wanted to delete it.   
      
   I didn't click the OK button to let Spybot do it, IIRC I logged off and   
   Logged back on to the Admin account and  I went to McAfee Support and   
   sent a comment about that to them.   
      
   I was in a Chat Session with a Technician, and I was told that   
   Third Party Security Software, such as Spybot S&D would cause the McAfee   
   Security Suite (provided by AT&T) that I have on my computer, not to   
   work properly if any other Security Software is being used on the   
   computer.   
      
   Later, I allowed the Tech. remote access and he found bad registry   
   values for the McAfee software and suggested that I Uninstall the McAfee   
   Security Suite and Download and Install a new copy of it.   
      
   He also suggested that I Remove Spybot S&D, SUPERAntiSpyware and   
   Malwarebytes from the computer before installing the new copy of their   
   program.   
      
   The past two weeks I have been using my XP box as he suggested, just to   
   see if I notice anything happening that shouldn't be going on.   
      
   I know I could stop using McAfee and begin using either AVG, Avira,   
   Comodo or one of several of other free Security programs instead of   
   McAfee's, and I might do it.   
      
   In another echo I was told McAfee was number 14 on a list back in April.   
      
   I'll keep the 'test' going on for a little while longer.
