What does these programs actually do?

I need some simple basic explanations for these programs.

1) Microsoft AntiSpyware (Beta1)
2) Ad-Aware SE Personal
3) Spy-bot Search & Destroy 1.3
4) BHODemon 2.0

Is it OK to run all of these programs in the same PC?
Should I recommend these programs for home use?
Are there any similar programs that are also reliable?

Any comment or help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
