[Gui..]

my windows vista came with windows defender (i think all come)
but i also installed ad-aware 2007 which is an antispyware program too.Is
there any problem to have 2 antispywares on my pc?

No. Many people have two or three anti spyware applications on their PC with
two of the most popular being Ad-Aware and Spybot Search & Destroy.

Excepting Adaware apparently conflicts with certain AV applications,
F-Secure being one.
And you dont mention any AV application

No, and having two or more is good to do.

Just don't run simultaneous scans on them.

Ensure that the other A-S apps are not running real-time.
