Question

Can i install internet security software in addition to free anti virus software?

Answer 1

yes, but make sure that during or after the installation of your internet security suite software, you disable the antivirus (if it has) feature of that software so it will not conflict with the activities of your free anti-virus software. NOTE: You may not have to Antivirus programs running at the same time.

or, you can just uninstall your free antivirus and try the one included in your internet security software. if you don't like the one included in the software, you can always install the free one again. :)

Answer 2

I would un-install the anti virus software first. You don't need to be on the Internet at that time. Just use Add/Delete programs then delete the directory in Programs. Reboot and install the Internet Security program which should have an anti virus, firewall, etc. Don't run two firewalls ie.- Windows & the new one or conflict will occur just like two anti virus programs.  ATB
