Workable to have both AVG Free & Avast running?

[macx]

Will this work, or not?

On my personal machine, I've got AVG Free, Ewido Suite,
Sygate Firewall, Ad Aware SE, Spybot, HJT, Spyware
Blaster, Spyware Guard. Everything seems to work
fine together, no apparent conflicts. (I had previously
lost a couple hard drives using Norton on my old machine
before I discovered TechSpot, so loaded up with all
the good recommendations)

I have heard that although overlapping anti-spyware etc
apps can be run, that sometimes at least similar AV apps
won't work at the same time.

True or ?? Would it be adviseable or workable to have
both AVG Free & Avast on the same machine running
at the same time? I want all the protection I can get!

Thanks for any advice / experience!!!

On my company machine, they have Symantec AV,
didn't feel I dared delete that (if by some odd chance
I'd get wiped out then, I'd burn for it).

Also, being commercial, couldn't use AVG Free.
So, with Symantec on there, there are a couple
features of Avast that won't run. Well, I'll
take what I can get and blame it on the IT guy
if I have problems. AND make frequent backups!

It's not recommended to run two A/V apps at the same time. Programs that work at the file system or kernal level can (and usually will) conflict and cause all kinds of problems.
