Yeah you can use them both but one will not be active everytime. Use one only for manual scanning and the other one active for real time scanning.

Yeah you will need to install AVG but uninstall Spyware Doctor. AVg is better.

ok, thanks!!! Ill keep you posted if anything happens, but at the moment I've been running for about 3 hours with no errors, which is good

I hope it stays like this :P

And if you want, i was thinking of replacing my 8800 GT with a 9800 or better VGA. My question regarding this is wether i should get another 8800 GT and SLI it, or get a better VGA. Incase you want to answer something else

Remember: Only run one of anything security wise. You have Vista's firewall and PC Tools firewall plus. Try the latter, disable the former and pay attention to how your security goes. Also, if you have two anti-virus' installed they will conflict so choose the one you want and uninstall the other completely. There are much, much better options than Spyware Doctor and its anti-virus.

GET A ROUTER.

vchib07, in the future please start your own thread. That being said... EDIT UPDATE: I see you did start your own thread after you posted here.

Most of your errors are 0x116 and the driver cited is nvlddmkm.sys which is a Nvidia display driver. There is quite a bit on the web concerning Vista and Nvidia drivers. See if updating stops the problem. Nividia's website might have the answers you are looking for.
