It's generally not recommended to install two anti-virus softwares at the same time, as many of them interact with the operating system at a low-level, overriding system calls that will conflict with each other. Most software installation instructions warn you about this, but you will have to consult your particular software's instructions.
The best anti-virus software you can have is common sense. I don't use any anti-virus software, and I've never had a problem. Of course, I also don't use Windows, or other proprietary technologies from Microsoft that are designed to be insecure and hand over your computer to virus writers. I would suggest you look into other operating systems like Ubuntu Linux if you are worried about viruses.

That depends on which two they are and the efficacy of each one.
Remember, a true IT knows that security and privacy are different. Think about a glass bullet proof house. Transparent, but stones could still be thrown at it or inside it, but could never go through it. That is security with no privacy.
Privacy with no security I guess would be like a bunch of "friends" coming over tp your house that is still bullet proof but not necessarily transparent, but whoever you let use your computer at home , posting random stuff then saying it is you.
So there you have it. Think of this software like a family planning product. I wrote a software package called the "Computer C&*(^m) but nobody bought it.
Oh well. Worms are worse than viruses anyway. Worry about those first. Some people aren't even malicious, they are just extremely nosey, or "curious". Keep them out with the right protection!
Hope this helps. :)
Safe and FREE! :)

Hi,
If you have the right Anti-Virus program, you will only need one.
I use Avast, and I have tried them all. Here are some features:
No cost to use.
Does automatic updates.
It talks to you. ie, Virus database has been updated.
Is so powerful, it catches a virus before you have opened a prog.
Covers incoming email.
If you want to give it a try, go to:
avast.com and all you have to do is register as a user and you will get the free download, for free usage, with no limit.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,
Darryl S.

It relies upon. in certain circumstances, extraordinarily if operating them at the same time, once you've 2 or more beneficial anti virus classes they could screw up your pc and make it freeze or flow slow, in spite of the undeniable fact that some anti-virus artwork fantastic mutually. in my opinion i imagine Mcafee is kinda lame and avg free is fantastic for some thing free yet i'd propose Malware anti-bites and SuperAnti-undercover agent ware for ridding your self of Viruses, yet i have had both Mcafee and Avg at the same time at one aspect and they did not look to annoy you, yet in case you pc begins performing humorous, you'll recognize why.

One might just shut the other one down, or having both installed may make your system crash.

Yes. You cannot have two anti-virus programs on your computer - it will cause problems and conflicts.

No, it will be the "blue screen of death" if they are good anti virus programs.
