Not a good idea and not really necessary. Running 2 security suites most likely will cause conflicts and slowdowns and either one by themselves offer sufficient protection.

Not recommended. Having two AVs installed in a system would cause conflict and possibly high memory consumption, however having more than one AV engine in an AV software is another case.
1. I would recommend in picking just ESET Smart Security
2. There was a discussion on Wilders regarding 360 compatibilty with other security programs.
In Total Security changelog, it reads (Since they added replaced IS with TSE, I can't find IS version history)
(http://www.360totalsecurity.com/en/version/ts/)
" v5.2.0.1074 Nov 25, 2014
I don't recall if anyone has tested the validity of that changelog. And the compatibility with other security software might not work with the latest version though.
But like already said, I would suggest ESET Smart Security.

Lol. Maybe he forgot.
Also this thread has "multiple-choice allowed" on a pick 1 answer question.

even if u managed to white-list them and had no conflicts, no problems or whatsoever .. the question remains is why would you need them both ? you might have a neglected increase in protection if any ...
IMHO you're better of sticking with ESET for real-time protection (since you already have a licence).. u can add a secondary on demand-scanner .. you can also add something like sandboxie if you run lots of unknown software with the potential of being infected

Keep it simple and stick to ESET Smart Security.
For typical use there is more than sufficient protection using ESS.
If you focus on learning to use ESS at a high level, then your system will be protected much more than the combo you are attempting.
ESS has all the necessary tools... it is learning how to use each of them with skill that is the hard part.
On top of it all, combos - while they can be achieved - are difficult to sustain due to many potential issues.

It is terrible idea. This combination have a lot of false positives. Better is Qihoo and Xvirus (I test now)
No, it isn't.

"Also keep in mind that running EIS alongside any other AV or firewall is not supported at all."
