My PC is running AVG anti virus, but somehow I'm not quite satisfied with its performance so I installed another kind of antivirus and that's bit defender, so what I'm asking is, is it okay to put 2 kinds of anti virus in one PC, aren't they gonna collide? or something.... Please gimme some advice

dili na cya advisable. magconflict jud na cla

parese lang ni imng AVG ug any anti-spy and anti-malware software, and a firewall program para dili ka atakehon

pwede ra avast antivirus then parese ug zonealarm
ako i'm quite satisfied with avast alone....dili cya memory hungry

well ako lang ning opinion ha, pero sulit kaau ang performance sa akng pc, no attacks so far, zero pop-ups, sakpan jud ang trojans

the on-access scan component of the first one might be redundantly scanned by the second one

but 1 thing is sure, they\\\'ll only wear out your HD faster

Actually ok ra man na, I actually use 2 antivirus programs Bitdefender and NOD32.. So far wala man nag conflict but make sure your PC has the horsepower.. the consensus on the internet regarding 2 AVs running is quite mixed, some advise it, others don't.. So far the newer versions of antivirus and security programs have little issues with conflict and most of them can be run together, the problem is in the anti-spyware and anti-adware components of some security suites which usually have issues... Otherwise, if antivirus components lang ok ra man.. I've been using this setup for a year na, no problems man, and no viruses have ever slipped into my PC.. But if you want to keep one Bitdefender gyud..

bro..dli na pwede..mag conflict na cya and dako kaau na kuha sa imo ram...

@kohaku: ok kaau na ang avast bro n avg...pareha ta mga software..hehe

[kukabildo]

dili jud adviseable... antivirus will threat other antivirus as virus...

[Chipmunk888]

1st antivirus = uyab

2nd antivirus = kabit

uyab + kabit = bogno




though pwede ni;

masinabtanon nga uyab + bootan nga kabit = okay lang

Mao jud, mag sige lang ug virus alert ang bit defender nako kay hasta ang mga virus na naa sa vault sa AVG kay iya man apilon scan, mo na hasol jud kayo siya labi na naa ka gibuhat, kay mag sige lang pop up atayzz hehehee... ok naman karon ako na gi remove ang AVG nako ang Bitdef nalang nabilin.

Ok raman mag dagan ko ug 2 anti viruses kay madala man sa ako PC di man siya mo ungot maka multi task paman gani ko ug ubay2x na proggie ug games, kay dako2x mani ang specs sa ako PC gud. Ang problem lang jud kay ang BD nako mag sige ug virus alert kay ang virus sa vault sa AVG apilon niya scan, saonz pud... hehe...
