Is it safe to run multiple virus scanners at the same time? Is there any reason to do so? thanks:confused:

I wouldn't recommend it however, there are people who do and as long as it's not creating conflicts or eating your system resources up, there really isn't any harm in it.

Personally, I only use one.

I'd recommend it. In case one AV doesn't have a virus covered the other might have it. Are you talking about monitoring or scanning?

Hi tacos,
The best for me is to use only one AV monitor at time, preferribly with daily update!!! not weekly or monthly :eek:
