I've got avast! pro which I think is pretty decent but wouldn't mind Kaspersky as well just for added protection. Is it possible? Could I just turn avast off when I wanted to do a scan with kaspersky without any problems. Also, could I have 2 firewalls running at once?

There is no point in running two firewalls, as for running two AV programs, If you was running a poor AV program like AVG then I would say back it up with Bitdefender 8 free AV program they work well along side each other.
Avasti Pro is a good AV program & Kaspersky is better still, they do not work well along side each other.
I would take off Avasti Pro & put on Kaspersky, you do know you can get it for free. (AOL free AV program is Kaspersky & it's free for all).

Two viruses or firewalls running at same time tend to bung up your computer. It is either designed to do that or it legitimately happens.

Some anti-virus don't let you to install two anti-virus. But some let you install two anti-virus. The best way is using only one anti-virus and keep updating it.

no you cant, most of them will uninstall the previous one you had, and some wouldn't, if you install two your PC is going to be in a big DANGER.

yes, you can use it but it will slow down you pc and can conflict. So use only one software while scanning.
