    Yes you can have them side by side. Then you will enjoy the experience of answering more or less the same questions from two programs :)

    Following the advice of another poster, I added ProcessGuard back even though I have appdefend\regdefend already. All I did is disable BLOCK GLOBAL HOOKS and BLOCK REGISTRY DLL INJECTION. Appdefend\Regdefend is faster in blocking those disabled items. Also if you don't mind the double popup warnings, you can leave EXECUTION PROTECTION enabled or disable it if you want.

    By the way I would never run appdefend disabled....

    Yes they do, but they don't conflict and it is an extra security measure. Though you have to allow things twice and\or disable both when installing new software, but that is the price you have to pay to be safe. There is nothing wrong with a little extra security.
