But its recomended only one ati-virus softwear as they often run 24/7. Its not uncommon to have two running and find they have problems together. So only have one.

You can have more than one anti-virus program. You just can't have two which have an automatic on-access (real time) scanner enabled at once. The reason is that usually unless you really know what you are doing they will constantly eat resources and interact with one another in a way which could seriously hinder performance. For many people it's too hard for them to figure out how to disable the real time scanner on the others but if you can figure it out then it's not a bad idea at all to keep a couple on your computer to use as backups. That way when you suspect something and the main one isn't doing the trick you can manually update the others if need be and run manual scans.
