It would cause them to conflict with each other if they are in 'monitor' (also called 'real time') mode. If you are just using them to 'scan' then you can use both just don't run them at the same time.
So it won't harm your PC having them both installed, just don't have them both set to 'real time' mode.Saving for a :www: deposit.

You'll get loads of different answers, I wouldn't use either of them.
My preferences would be to use Comodo if you want a free solution or Nod32 if you want a paid for product.
Others will tell you different, there is no right answerIt's taken me years of experience to get this cynical0 -
