Hi Patti, even the AV programs recommend not doing that. They may see each others files as a virus, due to some of the names of files being the same as virus. They may also cancel each other out leaving you unprotected.. You can have 2 programs on your computer, just do not have them both active at the same time. Shut one down before enabling the other.

AVG is a freebie and I have paid for PC-cillin. I have been told I should not be running 2 as they could be "fighting" each other! Any thoughts on the matter please.
