Yes but only use one for realtime scanning as it'll slow the system toEarl said:I now have the Avast free anti-virus but was looking at the new Grisoft

General rules are to never run two of the same kind of program at the
same time, as they will conflict with each other. a-v programs ...
firewalls ...
I'd recommend just staying with Avast!.

New, had pc 1 week and really do not know if 2 or whatever is needed.
Was thinking perhaps Avast may not be stopping everthing. Which one is
better????.

Most people here think pretty highly of AVG antivirus, I personally would
use AVG antivirus. Go to www.my-etrust.com, there's a link there to the
Microsoft partner pack, where you can download EZ antivirus free for one
year, it's a great antivirus program, a freebie from Microsoft.

Just only one Scanner of your own.
If you are not sure of your own virusscanner use an online-virusscanner

I would rather use one for memory-resident scanning and another for
on-demand use.
I think they will only conflict if both are running at the same time. So
once a week I turn-off Norton and run ANTIVIR. If I'm at a clients
house, I'll clean the machine with both STINGER and FPROT. Once I feel
safe putting it on the Internet I'll use HouseCall.
I haven't tried Avast or AVG yet, but I assume the concepts are the same.
