Multiple Anti-Virus Programs

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.

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.

No but your performance will go into the toilet and to be quite honest
imho most AV kinda stinks ;-).  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.

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.

Thank!
