I'm running the following on my PC:
- ESET NOD32 3.0
- Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.5 (not the version with anti-virus)
- PCTools Threatfire 3.0 (free, not paid)
I'd appreciate feedback on how much overlap and/or possible conflict (although I
haven't seen any sign of problems) there is between these. In particular, I'm
wondering if Spy Sweeper is redundant with the coverage provided by the other
two programs.
Thanks in advance.

There may be some overlap but they aren't redundant.

Could you point me (us?) to a website that shows known
incompatibilities between anti-virus of anti-malware software?
[On my computer nr.1 for exemple I have Avast free version, WinPatrol,
Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware free version. The fact that Avast always shows
a list -after scanning- of many files that could not be scanned
because of being protected by a password, is the direct reason for
asking this.]
I for one would be vey gratefull for it. :-)

I thought that SS slowed my system down. ThreatFire is a good addition.
I see you are on RoadRunner and using Thunderbird. Are you using a
router/firewall? Do you have some security extensions installed in
Firefox(like NoScript,AdBlock Plus)?
The best protection is an Educated User.
Prevention is Key.
Test your setup.
