Lionel. If you are worried enough about security to want to run two security programs then maybe the first thing you should do is go to the windows update site and upgrade your IE and OE to the latest versions, and get all the available security patches! I have also heard that running two firewalls/antivirus programs can lead to conflicts. But I imagine that if only one antivirus program is running in the background and the other one kept as a back up and just used for manual scans you should be ok. Personally, I just run Norton, but also run various web based virus scanners to double check.
