I wouldnt
Personally I use a decent free av (Avira) and scan every so often with malwarebytes as a backup:idea:0 -
SUPERAntiSpyware The free version is limited to basic scanning and removal. The premium version includes real time scanning, registry protection, a scheduling service, auto-scan on startup, and 50 startup diagnostic to stop malware infections before they spread.
Malwarebytes' Anti Malware The main difference between the free and premium version of the application is real-time monitoring. If you can stand not having active scanning against threats, the free version uses the same database.
Would not advise having both running in real time in case of possible conflict.
I have the free versions of both and find them more than adequate so unless your paranoid about malware or frequenting dodgy sites, stick with freebies.0
