Avast, AVG or AntiVir?

You should uninstall AVAST or MSE, you should never have 2 av programs running

I have 2 av programs in one system and as long as only one is running autoprotect or real time shield or whatever they call it, I think there should not be a problem.
The reason I have two is that I schedule each to run a scan once a week and hope that one can catch something the other may have missed earlier. So as long as only one is enabled I think you can get away without having to reinstall(at least in my experience)

You gotta laugh Rik. They are so blatant! Melove spam harvesters....

It was very naughty of me, but I could not resist signing up with spoof details. I gave them the phone number of 'the old general' (a system that answers the phone and talks rubbish to them). Sure enough 'Eric' called and stayed on the phone for a couple of minutes. You can listen to it here: http://www.elblowfly.org.uk/drwe/party8jun10.mp3

Back to AV - someone mentioned this project to me a while ago but I've not tried it myself:

I'm still not entirely sure I'd want both installed at the same time though. I achieve the same end result by using an online scanner in addition to my single installed AV.

For example ESET (the NOD32 company):

or Kaspersky:

(though unfortunately the Kaspersky has been temporarily out of action for a while)
