hi !
"People are often told they should only run one Antivirus program on their PC in order to avoid any compatibility issues..."
a-squared can also be used together with other Antivirus-programs,
even though it also has A/V-scanning.
if you want to see how good a-squared is, then take a look:

a-squared FAQ - a-squared Anti-Malware, a-squared Free, a-squared HiJackFree
"Question:
Is a-squared fully compatible with antivirus or firewall tools?
Answer:
Yes.
a-squared was originally designed to be a complementary product to antivirus- and firewall software. It is no longer complementary, but instead a full replacement for any antivirus software today. Anyway it's still compatible with nearly all other programs.
If you encounter a problem in combination with another program, please tell us. We will solve the problem as quickly as possible.
Please note, that you should turn off other background guards while running a scan with a-squared. Other guards would check each file twice and the scan would take very long."

Corrine: do you remember the following from a thread on TWCF about VB100 ?
i said: "btw, it would be interesting to see the results for MBAM & A2-squared..."
you answered: "This was an Anti-virus test. MBAM and A-2 are anti-malware software programs. However, if you spend any time in the security forums, you'll see that it is MBAM that is used most frequently in removing malware."
