v621.0 installation warning

[Bonnie]

Suspect this might have come up before but I can't find it. I've just upgraded to the latest (English) version. First, I got a warning that I needed to uninstall Avast anti-virus (never had it running on the pc, can't find any trace of it). Then I saw this:

It's urgent that you uninstall any other security applications such as anti-virus or anti-spyware programs that may be running before continuing installation to avoid serious problems.

OK, we know not to have two AV programs running, but not the anti-spyware program I've just bought? Pretty standard to have an AV and an anti-spyware program. What gives?

Never had any problems with NOD32 before, hope this ain't going to be a turkey.

I belive it to be a 'standard' warning code. I've installed it with other antispyware stuff and no problemo. Even have Win Patrol running on computers and on my Daughter's computer it also has Trojan Hunter running.

I might exit an AS app that is running real time, but not uninstall it. ???

On an OS reinstall, I had none of the described conflicts with CounterSpy v2.5.1043, but the NOD32 was installed 1st and then the CounterSpy 2nd.
