protection
at one time?

No. Have one antivirus and one antispyware (you have Windows Defender built
into Vista) running and that's it.

It uses more resources and some instances they can conflict. I had one user
using AVG and a Korean AV software. It prevented them from using IE...
although in some ways that could be considered a very strong virus
protection, but not feasible.
On the other hand, one antivirus software might catch what the other one
missed.
Is it worth having two antivirus programs... I don't think so. You can, but
I don't think it's worth it.

No. Although it is possible to have two antispyware programs (that
operate differently to provide such real-time protection) coexist
peacefully on one machine, it is almost the same situation as having two
on-access antivirus scanners running - which is decidedly *not*
recommended.
Best to have 0 - 1 real-time and as many as desired on demand.

If my antivirus software also has antispyware real-time protecton, I then
should
turn off Windows Defender?

I have Windows defender and one AV program running, and my other
AntiMalware programs are set to manual only, so I can run individual
scans on demand.

Ok. One should do manual scans with more than 1 AntiMalware program?
Thanks,
