"It's not recommended by Avast! to run another AV software program concurrently" none of the AV vendors "recommend" it. and they are absolutely correct. conflicts will abound. but what they aren't telling you is that it's okay to have a second AV as an on-demand scanner only. this is what i have been doing with Kaspersky for at least four months now. for anyone interested, "on-demand scanner" simply means that the second AV is not loaded into memory on start up. it isn't "always on". this completely eliminates any potential for conflict between competing AVs. and it gives the user the option of having two separate virus databases to draw from for protection from infection. the choice then becomes which AV to run as resident, or in memory. i run NAV as resident and KAV as on-demand. as a side note, i would seriously consider flopping the two if it weren't for the fact that NAV2004 (coming probably this fall) will have vastly improved unpacking engines. so i'm staying with the current 1-2 punch of NAV & KAV. there is no reason why Avast and AVG can't be run together, as long as this method is utilized. hth
