Okay. I have norton anti virus 2003 and PC Cillin 2002. Can I run them both on my computer without having any problems? And is it even worth installing. I have norton all ready installed and I found out I have PC cillin on my driver disk for my PC.

Don't have two antivirus programs installed to your computer at the same time, because they might conflict with eachother, and think that the other AV is a virus itself.
Norton nor PC Cillin is my first choice for an antivirus, but if those two are your only choices, go with what Wombat said.

It looks to me as though you only have one real AV program, and that's PC Cillin. Run it. Can you tell I'm a Norton hater? And McAfee. Both bloated junk, IMHO.

I hate McAfee.. It messed up my old computer when I uninstalled it. I need to reset the dos because the does scanner is gone and it wont boot up without step by step config.

Laura, I agree with your not choosing either AV. I use eTrust myself, and have never had a virus in the years I've used it. It's a small program, updated very frequently (sometimes several times a day). Doesn't interfere with anything, just does it's job. It even grabbed Blaster the first day it came out. The AV didn't have a name for it, but it knew it was bad.

I sugest you hae a good close look at the latest From Trend Micro.
Internet security 2004.
Spam filter, Fire wall, and AV in one.
Its so strong that you will not be able to run Zone alarm.
I have this running on both of my rigs, I can honestly say I have been usin this AV for abot 4 years and heave nevr been hit.
Pc Cillin has caught everything.

I wouldn't advise running two antivirus monitors.You could do a total install of one av program and then just install the on-demand scanner for the second av program.I've done this and used the second scanner as a backup.

Don't go on for Symantec's AV Softwares. Since it has some problems with the virus database updation problem. I have tested all the versions of Norton's av's the problem continues. I am in the network securities side for 0ver two years. I you have the only one choice of contuniing with norton just add security patches from Symantec which are available from their site.
