    Run two anti-virus programs simultaneously?


    Hello, I'm using two anti-virus programs simultaneously; AVG and Malwarebytes. They are fully up to date. I've been told by some that these, or indeed any, two AV programs will interfere with each other and cause risk. Is this really true? Surely Windows 10 would allow them to operate properly and independently. Thus, along with Windows Defender, such an arrangement would give very enhanced protection? if one program is not successful, one or both of the others will catch the bug? PS.

    It depends on your own preferences if you would want to use another Anti-Virus program.

    Help With Choosing Anti-Virus Software

    Hey guys

    I would like to know what some of the best anti virus programs are.

    I am currently running NOD32 and the Nvidia firewall (came with mobo) and I find they slow down my games (singleplayer)

    The guys over in the gaming threads suggested to just disable them while playing but I'm not sure I want to just in case you know.

    So yeah bassically if you could give me some suggestions for anti virus and I will probably go back to using the windows firewall instead.
