Recommended Posts

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.

Its not recommended to install two anti-virus programs, think they conflict

with each other. 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.

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.

In my case the AVG did not pick up the Kaspersky's existence.

Uninstall AVG and stick with Kaspersky - it's a better product.

You should have only one (1) *real-time* AV application installed.

You can (if you wish) have many more *on-demand* AV applications installed.

Same comment as above.

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. Read these links:

Remove AVG and *ONLY* use Kaspersky.

 

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.

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

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.

I had the following running and all working fine for about 6months on my PC,

before I switch to Linux:

AVAST (Anti-Virus, on-demand)

Spybot

Spyblaster

Spyguard

Adaware

AVG Anti-Spyware (Free Edition only)

WinPatrol (Not really spyware)

This is very dangers because they both modify the OS and they could make

your crash your system forever! I love kaspersky so I would say to keep it!
