I would recommend that you leave only one antivirus installed on your system
to avoid conflicts. If you want an additional "second-opinion", just use one
or more of the available online scanners. Choose one or more from a
different company than your installed application. BTW - same goes for your
firewall. Do not install more than one and disable the Windows firewall if
using another third party app.
