Anti-spyware and anti-virus are not the same.
Ideally you should run only one of each to do the job.
Otherwise as others have said, it will slow your system down and may cause conflicts.
Just pick one really good anti-virus and similarly one good anti-spyware program and you should be OK.

It should be okay to have 3 anti-virus softwares, it just might take up alot of memory space. So it'll limit the amount of data you can download upload or install, other than that, it should not affect you much.

It's okay, but it will seriously bog down your computer's performance and memory. I have AVG and trust me, that's all you need. Try to update your internet explorer because the latest one has KILLER PROTECTION (use with a virus protector)!!! :)

it is ok to have 3 but it ll make your computer slow and you get 3 scans and if you try to let something access your computer youll have to answer 3 messages but if you can deal with all that than it is ok

i hate to be the bearer of bad news but the only thing any of them are good for is slowing your computer down.if you just have to have them keep them where you can just run them from a disk every day or other day .they are usually a pain and most viruses are written to disable them first when your computer is attacked..
