NO!!!!!!!!!!
At least none that I know of.
You CAN and should use more than one anti-Spyware program however.
I use all of the following Free software with Windows XP SP2 and Internet Explorer with MSN toolbar and the pop-up blocker turned on and have never had a single problem with my computer sense Microsoft came out with SP2. (knock on wood.) (And be sure to keep Windows and the following software Updated)
The best Anti-virus is: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. (www.grisoft.com)
The Best Spyware defense is: SpyBot Search and Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html)<--English version
AND: AdAware SE (www.lavasoft.com)
AND Spyware Blaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.info/kb/)
The best Firewall besides the one that comes with Windows is: Zone Alarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/co... or just (www.zonelabs.com) and select the FREE version.
These are all FREE and are all that are required. There is no reason to pay for this kind of software, except to give a donation to the writers if you can.
ALL the above programs are recommended and should be run on a regular basis. With some the free versions they must be run manually.
The best way to avoid getting any Malware (virus, Trojan's, spyware, etc) is to practice safe computing. Microsoft and many others have countless articles on the subject of safe computing. (something I think should be taught in schools)

Well if you want to have a war going on in your computer then I would say put 3 or 4 but if you want a computer that will still run then I would suggest 1 and AVG Free works great.

If you try to use two antivirus programs at the same time..you will be reformatting your computer. I would not advise it.. Use only ONE.

hi, yes , you can use the both at the same time.
i recommand you to try firefox. firefox can tell you which url is blocked and you can pop the url again..
firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.
besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.
download firefox for free:

I wouldn't, just because you have two antivirus detectors, that doesn't necessarily mean extra protection. What happens is, they cross paths.

Not generally as they can conflict with other and may harm your computer.
