Please can someone advice me whether it is all right to use anti
spyware/adware alongside the normal Anti Virus software - and there wont be
any conflict. I have Sophos AV and am considering installing Spybot &
Adaware???

I also rely XP HE SP2's firewall

No guarantees of no conflicts, but very unlikely.

I'd "consider" no longer. Do.

Don't.

It has a purpose, but it's not nearly as efficient as some other 3rd
party offerings (Zone Alarm, Sygate, Tiny et al)
