Solved: anti-spyware conflict?
I have installed Spywareguard, Spywareblaster and Super antispyware onto my laptop. Windows defender also came pre-installed. Is this a case of overkill. Could there be conflict problems?,

thanks

There should be not problem. Multiple anti spy/malware programs are okay.
You want only one each firewall and antivirus Multiple of either of those can have conflict.
Many here recommend Malwarebytes and Superantispyware.
The important thing is to be sure you keep them up to date and run them regularily.
Good Luck
