Guest Alan T Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 I installed AVG then install Kaspersky, during the Kaspersky installation asked me to uninstall AVG, it seems Kaspersky does not like AVG? However, if the other way around, installed Kaspersky first, then AVG, AVG did not complaint Kaspersky. Quote

I had the same problem when I started out as well loading AVG and AVAST at the same time. You can have as many anti-spyware programs loaded on the PC, but onlt one anti-virus. -- Gerry (The MOTH) Quote
Guest Marcin Domaslawski Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Hi, Generally is very not recommended to use more then 1 antivirus at the same time on system. That situation can cause completely unpredictable effects - blue screens, undetected viruses, limited functionality of AVs etc.. This is the reason why most of AV have routine to detect other antiviruses.

Guest Alan T Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 In my case the AVG did not pick up the Kaspersky's existence.

Guest Scherbina Vladimir Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Actually, it's not recomended to use even several antispyware programs on one computer. The problem is connected with the way how antispyware and antiviruses work. Some of them hook (Kaspersky for sure) SDT (service descriptor table), and if another AV is installed, which also hooks SDT then BSOD might happen. Because, at the moment of modification of handler address in SDT the system might trigger dispatch call, and the call will go nowhere, because there is no syncronization mechanism for SDT - in this case it will act as shared resource. The same applies to several firewalls - in case of hooking TDI provider. Also, take into consideration a perfomace factor. In case of several AV installed on a system, the system will be working slowly. Those handles which are installed by AV software need CPU time to execute. P.S. I do not recommend you to use Kaspersky products.

As others have noted, it is contraindicated to have two fully installed anti virus applications on any given PC performing both "On Access" and "On Demand" scanning. You can however have ONE fully installed anti virus application performing both "On Access" and "On Demand" scanning and multiple other "On Demand" only scanners. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm Quote
Guest cquirke (MVP Windows shell/user) Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 On Fri, 13 Jul 2007 14:29:41 +0700, "Kayman" This is the most succinct and accurate comment, IMO... >You should have only one (1) *real-time* AV application installed. >You can (if you wish) have many more *on-demand* AV applications installed. >> You can have as many anti-spyware programs loaded on the PC >Same comment as above. You do get av that are purely on-demand, such as... - free version of BitDefender - Trend SysClean - various cleaners, such as McAfee Stinger, Avast Cleaner etc. ....and they'd be OK to use with a single resident av. In contrast, most "antispyware" scanners were on-demand only, such as the free form of AdAware, and Spybot. That's changing, although usually the free versions will either not run resident, or if they do, will do so for a limited "trial" period only (e.g. AVG Antispyware, formally Ewido). In addition to av-style "mugshot recognition", these products often do general integration monitoring on demand (no problem), passive "tattoo" protection such as HOSTS, Restricted Zone settings etc. (no problem) and behavior monitoring (may clash with others). Some tools maintain a resident footprint, such as a SysTray icon, in order to update themselves, without any resident behavior that might clash with other resident tools, and that's OK too. >--------------- ----- ---- --- -- - - - Never turn your back on an installer program >--------------- ----- ---- --- -- - - - Quote
