Hi, and welcome to the WTT forums
Generally there is no conflict between the two, so you should be OK.
The golden rule is to only have one antivirus application (running in memory) and the same rule applies to software firewalls...one software firewall is enough....more can lead to trouble. Its also OK to operate from behind a hardware firewall (as in most routers at the same time running a single software firewall.
Most anti spyware apps run happily side by side with Anti virus products but you are right in that incompatbilities do exist, so its best to check.
Don't forget though that the more stuff you have running the more you are burdening your machine........

Thank you so very much. I was wondering that ever since I purchased my new computer. Then, when i discovered this site, I figured I'd ask. Thanks again.
