Is it ok to have more than one antivirus installed?

Antivirus programs and companies

No. We highly recommend only one antivirus program be installed on your computer. If you're dissatisfied with the antivirus program you currently have installed we suggest that it be uninstalled, and a new antivirus program installed. Having more than one antivirus on the computer can cause many different issues. Often the most common issue is a conflict between the different antivirus programs, causing your computer to become unprotected.

Tip

It is more than acceptable to have one ore more spyware or malware protection programs on the computer, in addition to an antivirus scanner.
