Is SUPERAntiSpyware (Free Edition) really compatible with NIS?

Hello all,

 

I installed SUPERAntiSpyware (Free Edition) after seeing it recommended on this forum as an on-demand malware scanner. I did not choose any of the real-time protection options when I installed it.

 

However, I now notice two things that lead me to ask whether this program can in fact be installed concurrently with NIS without causing conflicts or other problems

 

  1. In my WIndows XP boot log, there are now two SAS drivers that are loaded at boot-up time, in addition to half a dozen Symantec drivers.  The SUPERAntiSpyware drivers are:

    Loaded driver \??\C:\Program Files\SUPERAntiSpyware\SASKUTIL.SYS
    Loaded driver \??\C:\Program Files\SUPERAntiSpyware\SASDIFSV.SYS

    
  2. In my Task Manager display, there is now a service initialized at Windows start-up called SASCore.exe and it is running concurrently with the ccSvcHst.exe services initialized by NIS.

Are these loaded SAS drivers and services likely to cause problems with NIS?
