Hello Jeff:

It is ok to use more than one spyware program such as spy ware search and 
destroy to clean your computer

However you shouldn't use more than one anti virus program. These programs 
do not play nicely together.

if you have an active firewall, updated anti virus, scan on a regular 
schedule, use and updated anti spy ware program and be alert to web sites 
and downloads that maybe malicious when surfing the Net, you should be 
relatively safe.

if you find you are getting trash on your system on a regular basis then one 
or more of your defenses my be down.
AVG 8 free monitors all protection systems on your computer and warns you 
when AVG  detects a problem. Also AVG  indicates a safe website when doing 
google searches.

Lets be careful out there.
