Is It Good To Have 2 Antiviruses?

1. Tristan Says

   only probably is it will probably slow down your computer a bit and there is little to no reason to have 2 antivires so keep one and ditch the other

   You shouldn’t run two anti-virus programs together. It creates problems.
   Apart from slowing your computer down by running both at the same time, the anti-virus definitions they use could be detected as virus by the other AV program. One could find the virus vault of the other. Both could find a virus on your computer and that will lead to problems when both try to get rid of it.
   You could always get lucky like Alonso but a lot of anti-virus programs won’t even install themselves if they detect another anti-virus program on your system.

   Sometimes, the two antivirusses can conflict and stuff, but it isn’t anything major. But if you choose to only keep one, I would take Avast, I use it currently, and I haven’t seen anything annoying. Sometimes a pop-up appers in the bottom of the screen, but it is easily closed, and won’t interrupt anything. I think it happens every time you open the computer.
   Hope I helped

   Think like this:
   Antivirus + antivirus = No antivirus
   If you run two antivirus in your pc they will no work…
   Three months ago I downloaded MACfee for adove and at the same time I had kaspersky.
   Then I downloaded a program my pc got a virus and the two antivirus did not make any thing, they shoutdown each other !

   It depends on the Antiviral programs you are using.
   Some will detect the others virus definitions as virus on your computer.
   So you need make sure that they are compatible.
   I have heard that Norton is bad about doing that.

   You shouldn’t use more than one antivirus program at a time. Just keep Avast. However, you may add another scanner like Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. They can work harmoniously as MBAM is not an antivirus. It’s just an antispyware but works well in detecting spyware.
