Can i have Avast and AVG at the same time..?? Not running or scanning.. Just in my desktop.. Can I?

Question

Just wondering.. Because i have a Trojan Horse and I'm trying to get rid of it...

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

just on your desktop ....yes

both running at the same time... not a good idea as it causes issues..better to have 1 av program running on system ...not 2

Answer 3

They are continuously scanning anything that happens in your computer.

Don't you know every email you send or receive and every web-page you visit, or file you open or download gets scanned.

If two different programs are trying to scan the same file, this slows the computer W-A-Y down.

Then there are the conflict issues.

It would be like being tied to two horses trying to go in different directions. OUCH!

Answer 4

of course you can, your computer is not going to blow up or anything

Answer 5

NO do NOT have 2 anti virus running on your computer at the same time they will conflict with each other.

Restart Computer in Safe Mode

Scan comupter with Avast
