Computer Virus Protection Software

Question about anti-virus and computer protection software?
If a anti-virus software has scanning components for spyware and malware, then could those components clash with other software such as Spybot, SuperantiSpyware and Ad-Aware?
If you don’t understand the question, I reworded it for a better understanding: can an anti-virus suite (NOD 32, Avast, AVG) work along side software like Spybot and Ad-Aware and the software will not cause problems to each other?
What I mean by problems… I mean something like the detection rates and false positives rate of NOD 32 and Spybot could make each other screwy or something.

I looked at the other question you linked, and the asker picked a bad answer. The guy that was chosen doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
As to your question, they will work fine beside each other without problems.
The rule is one firewall, one anti-virus, and as many anti-spyware programs as you want – the more the merrier.
However some anti-spyware programs have real-time protection, so I would recommend using only one of those at a time, because it can become confusing at times. I used to run Windows Defender & Spybot (with Resident, or TeaTimer, active) and both would pop up needing approvals for certain things, so I turned off Spybot’s TeaTimer function. They worked fine, it was just a bit confusing occasionally
