Add it all and also winpatrol to protect against browser hijacking and self-installing software.
Yes you can usually the antivirus does not conflict with adware prdoucts but be aware these programs hog a lot ot cpu and slowdown you computer heaps so what i recommend is you do a small resarch on the interent and findout the best product for adware and just install that one and upgrade it often. I also recommend getting a firewall. For antivirus i recommed Norton Corporate Journal as it offers perfect protection and hogs the least CPU.
If you have Nortons Internet Security 2007, it’s all in one.
I have it and I “test” it regularly by the type of surfing that I do. I have yet to pick up any bugs.
Just make sure you don’t add anything that runs constantly in the background … for example, SpyBot’s Tea-Timer feature.
As long as you set Ad-Aware, SpyBot, and End-AVG up so that you run them once and then they’re done, you’ll be fine.
Spyware Blaster will cause no distress at all, since it works by adding entries to the sites in your web browsers Restricted Zone. It’s only really running when you update its list and have it add new sites to the zone.
It’s up to you if you would want to. Yes it’s all possible. But if you add in more protection software make sure you disable their real time scanning option if they use it. Adding multiple programs that offers real time scanning will only slow your computer down.
I really have a Anti-virus attention with other branded Adware cleaners. There’s no negative aspect of having more as long as only one is set for real time scanning.
Personally I disable all real time scanning and scan files individually as I download. I also make sure to stay away from suspicious sites.
So overall..Yes you can. But it’s up to you on how you set them up which will impact how quick your computer starts/runs.
sometimes you can’t run someone elses spyware/virus protecters with another because there is a conflict? but i use pc-chillen and it has all of it combined
Woah! my name is Charles as well…and Im by Roadrunner, and Norton lol….yeah I guess you can
I would add Windows Defender, SUPERAntiSpyware free version, and CCleaner.
I would dump also Norton and use a free antivirus in its place. Of the free antivirus programs,AVG is probably the best.
Roadrunner offers a free security suite.
http://make pleased.rr.com/rdrun/feat_security.htm
FREE Internet Security Suite software to all
Road Runner customers powered by CA. You get
FREE Anti-Spyware, Anti-Virus, Firewall protection,
Anti-Spam, Pop-Up Blockers, product upgrades and updates, and web support**.
—————————————————
The CA suite is poor but combined with
Windows Defender (free full time spyware protection)
Ad-Aware SE Personal
Spybot Search & End
SpywareBlaster
SUPERAntiSpyware free version
CCleaner
will work fine. I use this on my computer with the windows firewall (part of AT&T security suite). Not the best but it is free, works and is very light on system resources.
AVG is stuck-up to CA virus, but you still need full time anti-spyware protection. AVG has free anti-spyware protection but it is not full time protection.
If you download questionable programs or do file sharing no system will completely protect your computer from yourself and your computer will eventually be infected.
————————————————————————-
All: Install Windows Defender (full time spyware protection)
Perform a full scan.

i dont see a firewall.
If you do not have firefox get it now and use it instead of internet explorer so you dont get any more spyware http://securitynewsfromthenet.blogspot.com/
Run Secunia Software Inspector http://securitynewsfromthenet.blogspot.com/ .Securina will tell you which of your software is outdated and have holes in them through which the spyware/virus are entering.
Install a excellent firewall
