1415628	2016-02-07 01:35:00	is there a problem with "avast?" -I had trouble updating and then re-installing - gave up in the end, deleted it, would only go/leave in safe mode, then installed "AVG" no problem there. Is there a compatibility problem between anti virus programmes? Oddly, recently "Ad-aware" was being difficult. I deleted all traces then reinstalled.	jayal (1291)

Antimalware programs can generally be combined, but anything that's active all the time can detect other programs as infections.	wainuitech (129)
1415630	2016-02-07 03:01:00	thanks Wainuitech. I guess I should"ve known that, so AVG should be sufficient cover. Any difference between AVG & Ad-Aware	jayal (1291)
1415631	2016-02-07 04:24:00	They will be different, but whether one is better than the other??? antivirus.softwareinsider.com If you want a good Anti-Virus get Eset Nod32	Driftwood (5551)
1415632	2016-02-08 20:10:00	Dont have AV & anti-malware or adaware etc running at the same time What actually happens is, they both detect the same malware, one will lock it stopping the other from cleaning it & vice versa, so neither can do their job. Some of the free (and pay) AV programs now try & be all singing all dancing make the coffee type of programs : they really are a mess. AVG now being one of the more bloated messes.	1101 (13337)
1415633	2016-02-08 20:50:00	I'd avoid AVG given their history of flagging Windows files as infected. No problems here with Avast. Have it running on a couple of machines - though I only install the file scanning module and leave the rest out ;)	autechre (266)
