yes it is safe to use several av programs together.

i use avast with spybot and superantispyware (along with windows default defender)

It is ok to have several "On Demand" AV programs, but not to have more than one actively scanning the system at a time.

It would be a bit like the Red Cross and St John Ambulance fighting over who was going to treat a patient.

Avast (like any other antivirus program) will automatically turn Windows Defender off to prevent any conflicts.
