The problem with running 2 antivirus program is not which one grabs what first
The problem is they both boot up together and scan prior to windows opening
They could be scanning files at the same time and that will cause a conflict big time
I am not a newbie and I have worked on many computers who have done what you are doing and in some cases it crashed windows so bad I had no recourse but to reinstall windows
You look at any of the manufacturers and all will tell you must uninstall one before putting on another
You are playing what the call Russian Roulette, do you want to wait till something like this happens to you or do you want to be safe and use one antivirus program?
You can run an Antispyware program in real time, it boots up a bit differently then the antivirus ones do so you should not have a conflict
