Need I say more?

:rolleyes:
 
Double the AV, double the detection no?

I think I might try sticking 10 on mine and then hitting a few warez sites! Lets see them suckers get to me then...

Anyone seen my tin foil hat?
 
I was under the impression most AVs wouldn't let you install them if they detected another resident AV...

Double the AV, double the detection no?

Most likely not! :p

I wonder what happens when they scan each other's respective Quarantine folders... do they hit an endless loop of scanning, detecting, cleaning, quarantining back and forth! :p
 
Yeah I've seen this before, numpty installs 24320 different virus scanners "cos I gotta stop my facebook getting stolen innit"
 
Had a few machines with over 100 processes before, which a good msconfig sorts out :D
 
No more like double the trouble as it starts a lot of fighting between them which will slow the computer down.

Technically speaking though two AV scanners would improve the chances of detection.

Lord knows what'd happen if they both found the same one at the same time, perhaps Earth would implode or the North and South poles will switch...better yet maybe the Aztecs forsaw this occuring in 2012?! omg we're all gonna die!! :eek:

i think the cost out ways the risk, and you stand a chance of cocking up and bringing the system to a standstill, a simple email virus will be spotted by both at the same time and yeah then what happens...
 
Some AVs will scan with multiple detection engines, but running more than one distinct product is generally a bad idea. Bit of a noob mistake but there are plenty of those around.
 
MSE has just bin un-installed from my pc, i was losing all the ram it started off ok 1.3g free then it just fell and fell till there was none!!! MSE rubbish
