You should only run one, and here's why. Some anti-viruses will think that the OTHER is a virus. With two anti-virus programs trying to run, your computer will be DOG slow.
But spyware is different. You should have an anti-spyware solution on your computer. I recommend that you go to http://www.download.com and get AD-AWARE and SpyBot Search & Destory. Install, run, update and scan your computer with both programs. These programs are not active, they simply CLEAN up the problem.
Good luck and Happy Computing!

could be a great sort of issues. From a foul perplexingchronic to utility blunders. First, is the perplexingchronic making any sounds that it wasn't before? If no longer, log in on risk-free mode with networking (F8 on boot) and flow to google and seek the word "housecall", the 1st website listed would be a trendmicro website which will run an entire test, registry, virus, undercover agent ware and all. this could ought to do it. before logging off, AVG has a clean undercover agent ware scanner it is loose to obtain.

Yes. Often, the anti-virus programs will see each other as a virus.

Think of it this way: would you bring two different guard dogs to protect your house? different inti-virus work in different order, so one will compete against the other or will not work at all as they might be blocking themselves. Besides, your computer or network will prevent you from installing another AV or will warn you to un-install one, before installing the next AV.

Yes! that's because of the way most programs are set up; they each want to be top dog. That's like AOL and PeoplePC; they don't get along.

I put my trust to Norton anti virus. It has sniffed out viruses that Mcaffee missed.
If I'm not mistaken, you can disable one of them so that they don't conflict with each other.
Hope this helps.
