I was wondering if having the following programs would cause conflict.

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
SUPERantispyware
Spy-bot S&D
Ad-Aware
Avast

Hi the only problems that occur is when you run Realtime Spyware programs.
Avast obviously runs Realtime.
If all of the above Spyware programs are free programs..then no conflict will occur.

Im pretty sure the free Spybot S&D comes with a real-time protection.
So it would conflict with avast,,,, yeah?

When you install the new version of Spybot it turns on TeaTimer (the real-time protection) by default which could potentially conflict with Avast!, but you can easily turn it off.

Using tea Timer by default is enough to make me never try Spybot again. Bad enough all I ever saw Spybot do is remove my needed cookies with scans, but Tea Timer is the most annoying uncontrollable startup program I have ever seen.
