I have been using Avast AND Mcafee together for about a year with zero interaction problems…
This past week, Avast asked me to update to newer version so I did…
On reboot, I got a warning from Avast that a program was trying to change an INI file. That program is Mcafee.
I’ve clicked yes, and I’ve clicked no… either way, I keep getting the warning popping up. When it does, it ‘grays out’ the background and wont let me do anything until I answer.
Also, on reboot… I’m getting numerous errors. I either get just the wallpaper and zero icons, no start button and no task bar… or I get them but nothing will open. (including control panel)
Sometimes, I get the icons and no task bar.
It takes about 5 reboots (manually) to get things running, and then I get hit with the INI messages again.
I tried to restore to an earlier day. That worked the first time but 2 days later, somehow it updated itself while I slept and I was back in the same boat. I’ve ‘restored’ again, but each time I reboot, Avast automatically updates itself.
Is there anyway to keep the older version?? Or make Mcafee leave it alone?
I want to keep both running as I have for a year. What one doesnt catch, the other does.
Sometimes, McAfee won’t be completely removed if, before, you do not uninstall Avast, including the use of its “Uninstall Application” if necessary (www.avast.com/eng/faq-install-uninstall-avast.html).
Why? Do you think you’re better protected? I don’t think so… two antivirus will slowdown and fight for the computer control. It’s not a good idea of protection at all.
I’m sad because I don’t like change… and I don’t want to have to chose here…
I go to some pretty risque websites sometimes, and I really really (life and death) need to have the 100% best protection out there.
I’ve never had any issues with running both.
My Mcafee is a professional business addition that was given to me. It never needs updating as it does it itself.
I run 5 of the 7 processes for avast excluding the email ones (as it wouldn’t even let me give or get mail)
One day Mcafee would catch something, and the next avast would.
Mcafee runs a scan every night, and avast was a good back up to that but had to be manually done (and needs constant supervision as it wont move a file unless I direct it)
Does it really worth it that much to purchase Virtual Center? Would it be worth it to purchase Virtual center
If I don’t upgrade my VI3 from standard to Enterprise. The post above cheered me up a lot into buying it, but it did not
mention what it will give & not give in standard edition.
