Of course it's okay. In fact, it's better to have one. I would recommend at least the following three to have on your computer (all can be downloaded for free off of Download.com):
1. Spyware Blaster
2. Bazooka
3. SpyBot Search & Destroy

No, it is not ok. Mainly because having multiple anti-virus software running can slow down your system. Also, a lot of software won't run properly if you have another installed. I know that Norton conflicts with many other anti-virus programs, as well as some anti-spyware.

It's recommended that you just use one anti-virus software program. More than one usually results in one program or the other getting confused and thinking the other program is viral. So, just use one of your choice; two very good free ones are AVG and AVAST.
As far as the anti-spyware, use as many as you'd like; two free ones are Spybot Search & Destroy, and Lavasoft's Ad-Aware. Good luck,

First off.... Such programs like Spybot Search & Destroy are NOT for viruses.. they are for Spyware...
And no, it is not good to have more then 1 anti-virus on your computer.. BUT it is fine to have more then one anti-spyware on your computer, I prefer to have a few anti-spy programs.. Spybot Search & Destroy, CCleaner, Spyware Blaster and Lavasoft Ad-aware SE Personal are 4 I have on my computer (desktop and laptop).

It is ok that having more than 1 antivirus or anti-spyware. It just consumed you hard disk space.

you can have multiple anit virus and spyware protection. it is usually better to stick with one because sometimes some programs don't work with other anit virus programs running.
