Use SyncLock...End SyncLock to prevent other threads to update rows at the same time

Private Sub BackgroundWorker2_DoWork(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker2.DoWork
    
SyncLock DataGridView2.Rows
  If DataGridView2.Rows.Item(num).Cells.Item(0).Value = "" Then DataGridView2.Rows.Add(1)
End SyncLock

Read more about the SyncLock Statement in the MSDN.
