Can I use Anti-Vir and AVG at the same time?

Hey guys;

I dumped "Norton Internet security" and using Anti-Vir free antivirus now. Have anybody used Anti-Vir and AVG (both free versions) Antiviruses at the same time? Do they give any system trouble? If so please let me know.

I heard that both antiviruses are good and want to use the maximum protection. Also, I am running "Zone Alarm Pro 5.5" on my computer. Will the both antiviruses and and zone alarm give any conflicts?

Thanks guys.

You should never run two anti virus programmes on the same computer because of conflicts etc.

Depends on how you run them. If you start them manually and don't keep automatic scanning features running in background, you can have a hundred antivirus applications on the same OS. Just like running any other applications.
