Spyware & Anti-Virus. No Good?
I have Norton Anti-Virus and Spyware Doctor. I heard that have two ani-virus programs aint good. So does this matter because I have a anti-virus or a spyware protection. or are they both the same thing?

They should okay well together. But if you notice any conflicts, then disable the real-time scanning function of Spyware Doctor, as you never want to have more than one real-time scanner running at the same time.

You can have more than 1 spyware program and that is what Spware Doctor is, just only one antivirus program so as Cheeseball said, you should be fine.
