Cris / Andy / Anyone
For what it's worth, For as long as I've had PC's, I've always run Nortons &
AVG 6.0 free edition together, and they have worked together fine on Win 98,
Win 98SE and ME. My brother-in-law runs them both on XP pro with no probs,
too.
A PC engineer once said that he swore by two separate AV progs running
together on a catch-all basis.
The only problem I've found is just lately the Norton Firewall (came as a
twin pack with Norton AV) is occasionally preventing my AVG updates, even
after clicking the "Permit" access button.
Can you or anyone else help??
Simon

I knew a lot of people who ran nortons and avg together - at least before xp
came out.
I have another prog on here and didn't install the anti-virus scanning
because it specifically said not to if another one was on the system.
I figure I've done fine with my nortons anti-virus - and my free zone alarm
firewall - so I didn't need to put another on - and I didn't know how xp
would react.

all the information I've ever seen about AV programs has said never try to
run two on the same system.
