It's a bad idea to have 2 On-Access (resident) antivirus scanners
running simultaneously. When an on-access scanner detects a virus it
denies eccess to it. If you have 2 antivirus in memory and both of them
want to deny all other programs access to the infected file your system
will come to a grinding halt. Stick to one resident scanner and if you
choose use anogther scanner for on-demand scans.

To answer your question no 2 antivirus products will work properly when
running simultaneously unless they were designed to do so.
