if I have avast, malware bytes and ad-aware can I use all 3 real-time protections or only 1?
You can use Avast! but I'm not sure if you should be running the real-time protection of two anti-spyware programs.

ok so to clear things up. If i got windows defender, avast, malwarebytes, ad-aware I should disable all but one?
No. Always keep an anti-virus running (Avast), and an anti-spyware running (i vote for MalwareBytes).

ok im confused since im not too familiar with anti-viruses. what do you mean by always keep an anti-virus running, and an anti-spyware running? does that mean real-time protection like avast's on-access scanner and malwares bytes protection module?

He means exactly what he said, Keep an anti virus running all the time in your case avast. and keep a anti malware like malware bytes always running real time.
Dont get confused with avast and the rest, avast is seperate. its ur anti virus.
They can both run together(avast and MB)
There is no need for 3 real times running (not including avast)
I dont have a anti virus running at all. or malware adware etc
Hi, hello2007.
There is a good summary of safety procedures here: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=20214
Also, down the page a bit is a list of Security Programs that work well together.
I have the following programs launching at startup and have zero conflict problems:
avast!
Ad-Aware
ThreatFire
WinPatrol
ZoneAlarm
