Hi. A quick question. The Microsoft Anti-spyware and Lavasoft Adaware both have a protective agent. The Ad-Watch is what I'm referring to for Adaware. Should I Only be using one of them to protect Spy-ware from been installed? Just want your opinions,Thanks.

If you'd got enough memory then why not. Better safe than sorry. But if you'r running Firefox theres not much of a need for realtime spy/ad ware protection.

You do as you want, it's up to you.

And if you're wondering how to get Mozilla Firefox you can get it at www.getfirefox.org for free, it works for Windows, Linux, BSD, Mac OS X, etc and it is also open-source!

If you use Firefox, pair it with Spyware Blaster 3.4 and use Microsoft Anti-Spyware's active monitor.

If you use IE, do the same as above. However also get Spybot S&D and apply the Immunizations.
