Answer 2

Yes, just as long as you don´t have two firewall, or two antivirus programs in your computer.  If you do you will have serious conflict with your system.  You can have four or even five antispyware without conflict, just need the CPU and RAM.

Answer 3

You can have all of them but it is not required. If you use Comodo Firewall and Avira AntiVir properly they can cover all security risks. In fact, starting with a clean PC and using the HIPS(Host Intrusion Prevention System) of Comodo(?It comes with the firewall software) you can do away even with the antivirus software.

Answer 4

Yes Yes Yes... And yes...

* Security is a three tier affair, one firewall, one anti-virus and as much adware/spyware removal software as you feel needed?

*** Make sure you turn off Windows Firewall... if you use Comodo Fire Wall. ***
