Hi Pam, Yes, but the problem is that they often have real-time scanning which is turned on by default and never turns off, and this is why it is not a good idea to have more than one installed on the same system. Now, if it doesn't have such a feature, or shutting it down turns this off too, then you're okay.

The only way you could use two antivirus programs is to run them manually and separately.

Hi, Generally, it is not recommended to have two real time antivirus scanners running as this could create conflicts as well as slowing down the computer.

OK, Just one more question if I may. Should one run Defender along with other virus checkers, or should it be run exclusively? I just got a new computer, and we just installed the free version of Avira, so really need to have an answer to this question. Please feel free to reply off list at the above address.
