You can, but it is not recommended nor needed. As long as you are using a good antivirus program a second one is not needed.

Running two antivirus problems will use additional memory and CPU power to provide little to no additional protection.

Some of the larger antivirus companies (Symantic specifically) are extremely bloated software and often don't play well with others.
