Layered AV Guard Protection Conflict?

In Canada, Shaw Cable serves some million customers. Shaw Secure supplies F-Secure to their customers. A couple weeks ago I was infected with a Trojan-Clicker.JS.Liner.C. And, F-Secure (via Shaw Secure) gave me an alert that it could not remove the virus; that I could choose either to have the virus renamed (and thus make it ineffectual), or, find a trojan remover. I opted to have it renamed, AND followed a Shaw Secure link to reviews of best anti Trojans programs to remove it. Trojan Hunter was basically listed top choice.  
 
Query 1: is their any newer schemes to easily remove a trojan thats been given a harmless renamed extention? I would assume F-Secure expected it be removed in its unaltered state.
 
Query 2: recently Shaw Secure 5.0 has been replaced with 6.0, which I believe just means a newer version of F-Secure. For a few days now I have had TrojanHunter AND F-Secure running at once. Hope there will be no conflict if both Guards attack the same virus. Shaw technicians tell me if I upgrade to this newest version of F-Secure that I can't run Trojan Hunter Guard with it, even thought it seems I can now with the older version. They say the newer F-Secure expands into Trojan Hunter territory.
 
Does anyone know if the newer F-Secure requires one to permanantly unload TH Guard ( or vice versa) to prevent some potential crash?

I doubt there is a problem; TH Guard is compatible with most realtime AntiVirus monitors because the Guard scans memory while AV monitors the filesystem {for file access, creation, changes, etc.}  The TH Guard triggers on any rogue process that loads itself into memory and then kills it if there is a signature match to one of the process rules in the TH ruleset.  Whereas the AV-RTM triggers on fileaccess {moving, creating, opening} to a file that has a signature match to something in its {the AntiVirus} definitions database.  For example, I use TH with NAV, many others here do, and others have reported success with TH-NOD32 and many other combinations of TH with AntiVirus.  You should have no problem.
