No! Whatever you do, please don't install more than one anti-virus app on one computer. They could cause your system to crash as most anti-virus apps do not work well with other anti-virus apps. The same is true of firewalls. Don't have more than one.
However, when it comes to antii-spyware, one is good, two is better, three is best. That's because each program searches a little differently and will find spyware that the others missed.

By the time you have followed the industry advice, and the advice of the DHS, and US CERT, in worldwide SECURITY warnings,you will be running 7 anti- whatever programs, plus Firefox and Thunderbird!!!
http://pclinuxos.com was and is still my choice over the past two years, *** a virus proof OS, for all the 5,000 free games and programs included!
Even microsoft.com, hotmail.com, MSN.com all run their 45,000 computers on Linux!

yes,they can but you have to take a risk of your pc hanging up too much.if u have more than one anti-viruses,ask ur software dealer which 1 is better and remove the other one.
Note:keeping 2 anti viruses does not improve security.

New Anti-Virus programs protect in Real-Time, so yes and no, you can have 2 AV programs on your system, but you can't enable Both of them to have Real-time protection on, cos they'll be fighting over resources bringing your system to a crawl.

Depends on which anti-virus software, but in general yes, just make sure there aren't two firewalls running. And of course they shouldn't run at the same time.

in case you have already put in abode windows XP then, you're able to desire to unpartition between the drives and then insert the bootable Linux disc and restart the equipment. Then, you're able to desire to boot Linux from the disc and the technique would be quickly defined after which you're able to desire to maintain on the approach via telling the OS to apply the loose area, it is the unpartitioned section. Your Linux is in a position to apply as quickly as you have put in thoroughly.

yes...you can have multiple anti-virus and anti-spyware programs on your computer...the only antivirus program that may give you trouble when trying to install a different one is norton.

No.I have tried that before and you can't acess your computer.I had to enter my computer in safe mode and remove one of the programs.A word of wisdom:Don't try it.
