if i have more than one anti virus/internet security is it better (does it make me double protected or something)

most virus are spread through IE. IE is not a safe browser. you should use a more secure browser to protect your PC from virus.
i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can block any any popup and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE browser. as you know, most of virus spread throught internet and webpage.
besides, firefox is much smaller than IE, so it run faster than IE.
download firefox for free, Just have a try:

I would say no. Each anti virus/ internet security will have their own unique way of protecting your computer. So it might end up to have some system clashes here and there if there are too many of these programs.

It's recommended that you only have one because if you have 2 the 2 anti virus programs could interfere with each other.

Yes and no. Whilst no one package will fully protect Microsoft Windows (yes, it really is that bad!), running more than one of the same sort of bolt-on could do more harm than good.

No its bad.
Only have one antivirus program and one firewall installed on your computer.

"Microsoft recommends that you have only one anti-virus program installed on your computer."
Anti-adware/malware/spyware are ok to have more of.
