Two Antivirus?

I have the SBC antivirus but it doesn't really do much and doesn't delete my viruses so I downloaded a free one, but when I was installing it it said that having two antiviruses could create system problems. I don't really want to uninstall the sbcone, but is it safe to install the new one. The new one is called bitdefender antiviris if that helps. Also, do you think I'd be better off going to a store and getting one. The viruses that I have don't sem to be doing much, but I'd like to get rid of them anyway.

The use of 2 or more anti-virus programs at the same time can cause major conflicts. The 2 scanning engines will fight each other to scan every file that you read, write or execute which can cause a slowdown. For the same reason, using 2 A-Vs can cause you to have less protection from the various malware, not more.

(Using an anti-spyware with an anti-virus is good, however and is recommended)

You might consider choosing just one A-V and removing any others.

The free version of BitDefender has no real-time resident protection, only the paid-for version does. The free version is an on-demand scanner only.

There are much better free alternatives such as Avria Anti-Vir:

Good luck.
