Security-Tech,
I did not say to run them simultaneously (however it might not be such a bad idea if you can tolerate the increased demand on resources and are in the habit of visiting sites notorious for transmitting virus infections).
I continue to run a single anti-virus program (Nod32), firewall, (Zone Alarm Plus) and anti-spyware simultaneously on my own PC's without problems.
I often temporarily install one or more anti-virus programs (one-at-a-time) in order to detect and remove virii on any system, which exhibits obvious virus-induced problems and have successfully done so for many years .
Once you are sure that the system is virus-free, simply remove the temporary installation and restore your normal anti-virus program for every-day monitoring.
