NO!!!! Dont install 2 AVs. They will both battle for control of similar resources and just wreak havok on your system. Bottom line is that you are more secure running one or the other than running both. That said, you should run something like windows defender in tandem with AV. Also (for what it is worth)..... if I had to pick one or the other - Norton is the way to go in my experience.
