    running at the same time? In my windows security center it lists Norton as providing Virus Protection. For antispyware, Comodo Defense+ and Norton are the programs reporting protection. I heard only software should be running for antivirus but is it the same for antispyware? I'm reluctuant to turn off comodo defense+ because it is the sole source of HIPS for my system.

    Yes, it's the same. Pick one and use it.

    I don't believe that Norton offers HIPS. Their antispyware works differently. You should not suffer any adverse effects from running both.
