Installing more than 1 is fine. But do not run more than 1 real-time protection at the same time and do exclude the other anti-virus software files from the searches.

This issue has been mentioned over and over again. I have read at least almost 5 times within the last 6 months. (Sweat)
You CAN have more than ONE AV. BUT, Do so at YOUR OWN RISK. AntiVir + NOD32 has been stable with me for almost 2 years now. You can top it up with AVG Anti-SPYWARE (NOT ANTI-VIRUS!!!) and the rest of the anti-malware Just have one Guard/Shield/Real Time Monitor on, and the rest OFF. Rest assured, no more problems This topic ought to be closed. Cheers! |
