You should only install one because there would be a conflict between the two I would suggest buying Norton Antivirus the Works!

Well here is a tip dont download anything youre not sure about and if i were you i would download it and when it is finished downloading scan it with a Antivirus software which you should have because if you dont you are getting viruses right now so if the scan says there are no viruses go ahead and install it. But always remember if its to good to be true dont do it.

I would not try this.  I did that once, and what a mess - I had to take my computer to the repair shop and they told me not to run two anti virus progrms at the same time.  I now only use AVG Free.

you should be able to put it on both computers, only register one, but in the future you can use AVG a free anti-virus or Avast! another good free anti-virus.  Don't use more than one anti-virus on a computer though as there could be compatibility issues.

Its really not a good idea because its so out of date.\nAll of the anti virus updates are added as fixes. To see what that looks like install Ccleaner and check out the list of updates and hotfixes tagged on to Windows.\nThese all load one by one after the program loads and that increases the time it takes to load and startup the pc.\nNewer versions have all the updates integrated into the program.\n\nThere are decent freeware security programs you can use, they are only free for home users. Business users have to pay. (its probably tax deductable for them.)\nTheres a full list of freeware on my blog but 2 good ones are AVG 7.5 and Avast.\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/  -AVG anti virus or\nhttp://www.avast.com - Avast Antivirus

They have a product called System Mechanic which has similar tools, but is not bundled witht the Antivirus or Internet Security suite.  So you would be buying two products.  The product is very good.

Ellenrose, like hell it is - two AV's conflict to the point where you end up will less coverage that from one good AV application.\n\nGood policy:\n1 decent AV (SYmantec Corporate (available from their site), or AVG free - avoid Kapersky like the plague\n1 or 2 Decent anti-malware applications - Ewido, AdAware\n\nAlso look at using Opera or Firefox as the primary browser, as the this also prevents a lot even getting in the door

It's not advisable to run 2 anti-virus's on the same computer. You're asking for problems right away when you do that. Sound slike your McAfee firewall settings are to high since the site you are trying to get to sounds like a banking site right? In McAfee there's a Privacy Service program that goes along with it depending upon the version. Try disabling the privacy service along with lowering your firewall settings.\nFrom BeachBum-Desktop Support Technician

I've been in this business for many years, answering this question for over 15 years. Just antivirus software alone will help no-one.\n\nProtecting from spyware and protecting your IP address are needed first, and that means you'd want to purchase a firewall, antispyware, and antivirus software.\n\nBuying an internet security suite combines all three programs and lowers your price.\n\nYou want free? Try Zone Alarm (free version of firewall), Adaware (free spyware software), and Avast (free antivirus software). This is a great free combo.\n\nIf you want to pay for the best Suite, I would purchase Zone Alarm Suite. Thats the best (better than ANY free solution because it cryptically checks files for authenticity, something freebies do not do) and easiest to use, in my opinion. Norton is huge and inneffective. Mcafee misses too much. Zone Alarm is VERY LIGHT on system resources.  Good luck!

No, Avast's Network Shield feature only checks viruses, it does nothing whatsoever for intrusion attempts. So, you HAVE got to use both of them. But I think they are not compatible, so you can switch over to AVG from Avast. Here is the link to get AVG free:\nhttp://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10596553.html?tag=lst-0-1\n\n\nBut never keep two anti-virus on a single system, they will fight each other. Fully uninstall Avast before getting AVG. AVG's resident shield is the equivalent of Avast's Network Shield; its as effective and much less memory consuming! :-)

Run the anti-virus scan from link 1 below. Then install the spyware software from link 2 and run it.. When done edit your post and let us know if you still have problems and what operating system your using...\n\nIf you are currently running some sort of antivirus software, turn it off first.

Not to my knowlage you can do the free virse scans off the websites and do it that way.  All anti-virus companys are pretty much the same.  Do not load more then one virse scanner on your computer because they will start to fight each other and make your computer run slow.

Ditto to jd.  Running more than one Anti Virus on your computer sends conflicting and duplicate messages and actions.  It can cause all kinds of havoc and even make your entire PC crash.  You only need one and make sure to update it's definitions regularly.  But run as many anti spyware/adware programs as you like.

Yes! Running Two antivirus software means... letting Trojans to enter.. your computer they'll start scanning same time slows down and takes registry space... conflict each other... and create Huge Problems\n\nhowever it's strongly recommended to install two anti-spywares or Firewalls if you don't want to get infected....\nUse avast..... it's schedule time boot scanning is Best Feature.... if compared to any other anti-viruses... features and it won't slow down... your computer...\n                            I don't mean Avg is bad.. or won't provide defense.. but those two features lacks in Avg or everythin is =
