Exactly as Lanwench has stated. I use them both, plus:
CWShredder
SpywareBlaster
SpywareGuard
PestPatrol
BHO Demon
ToolbarCop
HijackThis
Miniremoval tool -coolwebsearch-smartkiller
AVG AV
Avast Aswclnr
McAfee Stinger
F-Prot for DOS
Zone Alarm firewall.
And then some......

They all get along, serve different purposes, and detect different things in
*most* cases. While we are on this subject, one must be wary of bogus
programs which try to take advantage of the unwary user.
