The use of 2 or more anti-virus programs at the same time can cause major conflicts. The 2 scanning engines will fight each other to scan every file that you read, write or execute which can cause a major computer slowdown. For the same reason, using 2 A-Vs can cause you to have less protection from the various malware, not more.
(Using an anti-spyware and a firewall with an anti-virus is good, however and is recommended)
You might consider choosing just one A-V and removing any others.

No, you can only run one antivirus software in your computer. If you try and run two you will have serious conflict with your system.
You can run three for four antispyware programs without any conflict. One will always find what the others miss. (That is if your have the resources for three or four antivirus programs).
Myself, I run four antispyware programs. For the reasons stated above, one will always find what the othre three may miss.

you only need one. Don't run two they will fight each other. A good one is this one and is free.
