Can running two anti virus programs on ur computer miss up ur computer?kawasaki

You should only run one, and here's why. Some anti-viruses will think that the OTHER is a virus. With two anti-virus programs trying to run, your computer will be DOG slow.

But spyware is different. You should have an anti-spyware solution on your computer. I recommend that you go to http://www.download.com and get AD-AWARE and SpyBot Search %26 Destory. Install, run, update and scan your computer with both programs. These programs are not active, they simply CLEAN up the problem.

Good luck and Happy Computing!

Think of it this way: would you bring two different guard dogs to protect your house? different inti-virus work in different order, so one will compete against the other or will not work at all as they might be blocking themselves. Besides, your computer or network will prevent you from installing another AV or will warn you to un-install one, before installing the next AV.
Yes! that's because of the way most programs are set up; they each want to be top dog. That's like AOL and PeoplePC; they don't get along.
Yes. Often, the anti-virus programs will see each other as a virus.
yes,like Symantec and AVG cannot use together
No, it might see each other as a virus.
I put my trust to Norton anti virus. It has sniffed out viruses that Mcaffee missed.

If I'm not mistaken, you can disable one of them so that they don't conflict with each other.

Hope this helps.
yes it can but att will try to cancel the other from fully installing the next time you restart your computer.
yes, the firewalls can contradict eachother and nothing will work right.
