    Like I say here, you can run two at the same time, but you really shouldn't.  The two programs are likely to conflict and they might let certain infections slip through, as it can hinder the scanning, detecting, and cleaning process.  It'll also use up a lot of resources.

    More than one antivirus program with real-time protection is not a good idea.
    More than one anti-spyware program is, and is highly recommended, as no one product will catch all of them.
