Scanning Systems for Spyware and Malware etc...What happens??

Righto!! He're a handful of questions to ponder......

Are search and destroy programs such as SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes, able to be run through a system that already has other anti-virus and anti-malware programs like avast!, Avira AntiVir, SpywareBlaster, Ad-Adware 2008, and SpyBot etc. etc., running in full and active mode?

Is there a need to disable the active anti-virus/anti-malware, before running any scans by those programs highlighted above?

Should the scans be done with the PC/Laptop disconnected from the Internet?

Does the free version of Malwarebytes just search for infected Files, or does it complete a full search and destroy scan?

Finally, what exactly is meant by "running the scan in Safe Mode"? Does that mean the Browser Safe Mode?
