Of course it is. I have both SpyBot and Ad-Aware and use them regularly. they are only good if you keep them updated, which I do at least twice weekly. I use SpyBot once a week and Ad-Aware daily. Please ignore the dumbbu** that answered no. These two programs are important parts of keeping your computer free of spyware, adware, and trojans that aren't viruses. So, keep them updated and use them frequently!

One ad ware program might detect the other's files as spyware depending on how the program works and installs itself on the computer. Just tell it not to clean up the other program. If you are using a ad ware program you are not familiar with it and gets detected just do some googling to see if it really is a good program or just another piece of junk.
What will cause you problems is an always active adware program that frequently detects new problems for you it might constantly fight the other program. It's definitely a good idea to only have one virus program because those may really fight each other and cause issues installing programs while they fight for right and wrong.

Its not okay to have either of them on your computer. Use your anti virus software to get rid of them asap. You are putting everything on your computer at risk by leaving them.
