hi
Avast is an antivirus it will not conflict with the other two
MBAM free has no real time component- it is an on-demand scanner
Spybot is also an on demand scanner

now
MBAM PAID has a real time component
AND
SPTYBOT T-TIMER is real time load at boot up

\DO NOT RUN MBAM PAID AND T TIMER AT THE SAME TIME

I do recommend that you run ONE of them
OR
Windows Defender
OR
SPyware terminator free (nix the pre checked add ons)
OR
Spyware Doctor Free via google pack (nix the rest of google pack)
OR
One of the other PAID real time programs such as
Super-Anti Spyware paid, Sunbelt Counterspy, A-Squared Paid etc
(the free version of SAS is an on-demand scanner like the Spybot and MBAM free and Ad-Aware Free and a-squared free scanners

You can have as many on demand scanners as you like

hope this helps

Highly recommend Avast

wyrmrider is spot on with the advice.
If you have another AV you will have to remove it correctly before installing Avast.
Why do you need help? Computer sick?
