You can use as many as you want. As long as they are not running at
the same time, they can't conflict with each other.

In fact you *should* run more than one. Note what Eric
Howes, who has done extensive testing on Anti-Spyware products,
states:

"No single anti-spyware scanner removes everything. Even the
best-performing anti-spyware scanner in these tests missed fully one
quarter of the "critical" files and Registry entries" See
