I used to use AVG and Avira on the same box a few years ago. Yeah, sometimes my system would seem to run slower but I never experienced any conflicts. On the upside Avira found some stuff on my system that took AVG about 6 months to recognize. On Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 5:46 PM, Craig Freyman <craigfreyman at gmail.com>wrote:
Depending on which AV's you're running, it can cause system conflicts. We had a situation where we were moving from one AV vendor to another. Someone forgot to uninstall the old one on a couple PCs and when the new one was deployed it caused the machines to constantly freeze. We removed the old one and it worked fine.

One sort of interesting technology that you may want to checkout if you are going to rely on AV is Immunet. Immunet is actually designed to work alongside another AV program. http://www.immunet.com/ Regards, Will On Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 12:41 PM, Shawn McGovern <26mcgovern at gmail.com> wrote:Do security holes (or any issues) form if you use multiple anti-virus programs? I have to share a computer with another person and have no control over what he/she does, so im looking to be as safe as I possibly can.
