can I run your program with mcafee that I have installed?
Hi, the simple answer to your question is never try to run two antivirus programs at the same time, or this will give you problems with software conflicts. To run Avast you will have to completely uninstall Mcafee. If you don’t want to do this, then your only option is to use one of the online scanners, take a look at the Trend Antivirus web page for more info.
poodles,
It is not advisable to run both AVs at the same time.
McAfee and Avast both uses Resident scanners which means that they have an active shield running all the time.
In effect, sometimes the scanners can “detect” each other and cause major conflict.
You can however use one running the shield, and the other as a manual scanner.
Since Avast is in my opinion superior to McAfee, I would not have McAfee at all on my machine.
You can coupled Avast with an online scanner as a backup if you wish: House Call, Kaspersky and others have them.
Good luck and welcome to the forum.
Many thanks for the advise, I will look into what you suggested.
