That's what I thought too, but maybe it's just when you have both of the auto-protect/monitoring systems running at the same time that you get the problems?

Some can cause conflicts, i don't recommend running two. But Omni is considerably more experienced than me.

Ok well i will give another opnion, as someone who used to be an still slightly is a blackhat.

When working with Viruses and this kinda stuff i found that it was Avg and all those small Av's that you don't expect to be good Detecting my viruses. But apart from that i still preferred Avast over Avg, But i find that Kaspersky will find more viruses and give you better protection then both of them. And as Omni said, It depends on whether you download from a trusted source.

You can have them both, but you will only need one real-time protection that causes the conflict between the AVs.

Programs like GData are able to run two antivirus at the same time such as:
  • Bitdefender
  • Avast

I think Avast is the most intrusive; I love AVG because it works but stays out of the way, plus doesn't hog too much of my resources [AVG Free 9, anyway].

As for running them side-by-side, I don't know about those specifically, but I do know that it generally causes conflict. At the very least, you're giving up some speed.
