No, there will be absolutely NO problems. You should, however, take care to use only one anti-virus and one firewall at a time.

Many open source or free AV software is uniform, and will do little to interfere with other programs running on your system.
If you have more than one Anti-virus running that's where the issues become evident. Good recommendations would be
1: Anti-spy-ware software (Spy-bot search and destroy)
2: Anti-Ad-ware software (Ad-ware SE)
3: Anti-Virus Software (Avast Home Free edition or AVG, I hear good things about CLAM anti-virus also but have yet to self test it.

You need a spyware / adware removal program. You can get a great free program, that is just as good as anything you can purchase, called "Ad Aware". It's in the "Free Software Section" You can also get a great Free Anti-Virus Program, called AVG FREE. These programs, used hand in hand, will fully protect and clean anyone's computer. Personally, I think these programs are better, than most that cost money.
Why Pay? You can these programs in the "Free Software" section at: http://www.investmental.com/free

it fairly is advisable to decelerate somewhat. i discover in easy terms one good application is needed earlier your equipment starts to bathroom down- as in one firewall- one antivirus- one antispyware. i did no longer like homestead windows Defender for undercover agent ware via fact it ignored lots- i exploit Spysweeper like most of the different companies that sell it, like Norton. comparable became genuine for the homestead windows firewall. turn it off and use your Norton one. MS OneCare and malious application eliminating gadget is a humorous tale. great ingredient is to makes advantageous you have become your updates. does not challenging to envision manually additionally:) stumbled on Asystematic a good place to be certain extra on cyber web secure practices- too:)
