Sure you can use more than one antivirus programme, but they will interfere with each other. Best bet is to use one one your computer, like Antivir, and keep a link to an on-line scanner, like CA or Panda. That gives you the advantages of 2 available scanners, and no interference. 2 firewalls only work if one is hardware and one is software. Again, 2 firewalls the same type, ie software, will interfere with each other. There is no point in going for more protection and ending up with less.

Yes, you can have more than one but it is really not needed. Also, multiple protection softwares might reduce your system performance unnecessarily.

possble but DEFINITELY NOT ADVISABLE...the problem is the files will overlap and screw up your registry with the very distinct possibility of locking up your computer. if your a seasoned veteran fine otherwise no.
