ok so what is the point of keeping two resident AV if i hv to turn off one every time. In stead two resident AV protection i can use many ondemand scaner like MBAM, SAS where the free version doesn't prodide resident protection.

I guess it is because by the time MBAM or SAS has found something, it might be too late.

I rather suggest using other "layers" instead of a second real-time anti-virus.

I think i hv many layered protetion like...... Real time..Avast 5.0 free, On demand..... MBAM, SAS..... Spywareblaster to immune my system..... Winpatrol plus.... I use browser Firefox with add on like No script, Request policy, better privecy...... Windows firewall. Is not it sufficient????

Hi, gautam7.

I agree. You have good layered protection. Couple that with safe surfing, Microsoft and third-party software updates and you should do just fine.

Thanks Corrine for reminding to keep every thing up to date.and ya i keep everything up to date.

I hope no one minds me resurrecting an old thread, but I followed this thread when it was new and I installed MSE with my already running Avast, and they had no problem together.

Now I recently installed a new SSD and did a clean install and put Avast back on, but never got around to reinstalling MSE.

Has anyone tried the new MSE 2 with Avast Free v5.1.xxx ?
