InterestingI guess it depends which ones you run together. Try Norton plus McAfee and see what happens - LOL. And I do not see the difference between 32 and 64bit. Why would 64bit behave differently?I use a combination of anti malware software running side by side. Yes this can be done but I use a 64 bit OS, which handles multiple apps like that running side by side in a more stable manner. I run Windows Defender, Malwarebytes and Comodo Firewall without any problems. The rumors about your system becoming unstable while running more than one anti malware program at a time are false. Maybe under a 32 bit system they wouldn't run as well side by side as a 64 bit system, but as far as system instabilities...those just don't happen like they are made to believe. Maybe at worst on a 32 bit system there would be some significant slowdowns depending on your system specifications but that is all. I'm assuming that you are running at least Windows Vista under this fact.
It is because a 64 bit operating handles larger memory requests better than a 32 bit operating system. 32+32=64. A 64 bit operating system processor can handle twice as much dataflow from a requesting application or applications than a 32 bit OS can and that is one of the main reasons it can handle running antimalware apps better than a 32 bit OS and the reason why it can manage memory over 4GB at all.
