Kaspersky + Ad-Aware

Quick question, is it fine to use both Kaspersky and Ad-Aware together? It's just I've heard people say running two anti-viruses together conflict with each other?

Thanks in advance.

Ad-aware isn't an anti virus.

It is not just fine, it is advisable. Even the mighty Kaspersky cannot get everything and it certainly doesn't have th edepth of spyware signatures that Ad-aware and similar have. Keep Kaspersky as your resident protection and then use Ad-aware as an on demand scanner once a week to clean out anything missed, although you will probably only pick up tracking cookies.

Some of Adaware's programs have "real time monitoring" for spyware and should prevent spyware entering your system.
