Are you sure about that? I thought that you could run more than one at the same time? Or at least have more than one installed but only one configured for background scanning and the other available for manual scans?podgerodge said:yes, no 2 anti virus programs work well together.

Both at the active and background scannning at the same time. Also have other AV and anti-spyware solutions running with no issues (apart from the performance overhead but I am happy to pay that to keep my machine clean)ClubMan said:Do you have both of them active/background scanning at the same time?

"Is it safe to have 2 anti-virus programs on one computer?
It is not recommended to run 2 antivirus or firewall products on one computer at the same time.
This also applies when the products are manufactured by different vendors, or when using different versions of a product from a single vendor. The "resident shield" functionality of the products may conflict with each other, resulting in unpredictable behavior in your computer, as well as not responding appropriately to a potential virus threat.
Be sure to uninstall or disable all other antivirus or firewall programs on your computer when using a new antivirus/firewall program."
"Symantec strongly recommends that you run only one antivirus program at a time. Having more than one antivirus program active in memory uses additional resources and can result in program conflicts and false virus alerts"
So maybe even if they both looking like they are working you are having invisible conflicts? I don't know, I've only ever used one at a time.
