Yes. Stinger only detects a handful of viruses so it is designed to compliment your anti-virus, not replace it.
Remember to disable your main anti-virus when you run a scan with Stinger though.

Hi, Of course, feel free to use two antivirus software in the same computer.
i also recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar, which can disable the virus, becasue the virus can only run on IE.
firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and spywareware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.
firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.
download firefox for free:

Yes , Stinger is just a stand-alone detection and removal tool that only detects and removes a few of the major viruses.
