Can I run two spyware programs?

    I currently have Webroot Spysweeper on my computer. It detected and quarantined an unauthorized keylogger program called 'sys keylogger pro'. This is on a personal home computer that no one else uses. I have downloaded 'Spyware Detector' onto my computer, but before I install and run it, I was wondering if there are any compatibility issues with running two spyware programs simultaneously. (OS=Vista)
    Also, I have been told that using the on-screen keyboard evades keyloggers - is this true?
    And by the way, thank you for this site! It is awesome!

    You should only run one anti-spyware program with realtime protection. You can run additional antispyware programs that are scan only programs. .....and the onscreen keyboard will help with keyloggers .... you should work thru the below link:
