Something is wrong (Symantec in angry Alwil Software?)


Recommended Posts

Do you have avast! V5 and Norton Security. ;)

I use avast! and c:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast5\defs is there.

You can not run two anti virus applications at the same time. :)

You could go to My Controls then Edit Signature in Personal Profile to add your system information in your signature so that the helpers can offer pertinent advice.

But indeed it is not a good idea to use more than one AV at the same time.

I scan only my computer with "Norton Security Scan" or something...nothing more by Symantec! ;)

So, if I understand you...I must "uninstall" MBAM too? :blink:

My computer works a very well that way. I haven

Norton Security Scan is not a full anti-virus software package....

If you have Avast v5 and Malwarebytes fully updated you should be fine with that.

You can safely uninstall Norton Security Scan....

Of course I use avast5, MBAM, a2, SpywareBlaster etc. It

I do not use a2 as it has too many false positives.

I do not need Norton Security Scan as avast! and MBAM have detection and protection enough for me.

Symantec does not like competition and wants every other anti virus application removed as it wants to be the only anti virus application on everyone's system. ;)

Hi -

I am not sure if you fully understand all this -

You only need MBAM and Avast V5 - You can safely remove all the other Anti Virus programs -

The A2 program and your Norton program can now be removed safely -

Symantic (Norton) and Avast V5 (Alwil) do not like each other - Remove one of them - Also remove A2 - A2 will never run while you have the other two Anti Virus programs running it will only run if all other Antivirus are disabled or removed -

Thank You -
