Putting scan mode off

[NiluGeek]

Hello friends
i want t install 2 antivirus softwares, one is avg and another is Mccafee in order to avoid conflict between two softwares, Iwant to put scan mode off of one antivirus software, what is the procedure.

thank you

Go to the settings and disable realtime protection of one av

dont install two av it will slow down ur system considerably even if u disables ones real time protection,becoz av's wont completely unload frm memory unless u uinstall it.
But some av's unloads frm memory by turnning off(like kaspersky),both avg and macfee remains in memory

^^ KAV's driver remains in memory, even though you turn it off.

^ya,but its process and resident shields unloads frm memory,and kavs drivers only take 10mb in memory

there is really no need to install two antiviruses. there is a high possibility that they conflict internally. If u think installing two antiviruses will double up ur security then u r wrong.

However, coming to ur question, u may switch off AVG by going thru the settings and turning real-time scanning off...

First of all, I don't think the setup for an antivirus would continue once it detects that another antivirus is already installed. Even if you manage to install 2 AVs, it's better not to do so.

^^ Most antivirii do install while another one is loaded, although using more than one antivirus is not recommended since the drivers that they use have a high rate of conflict, and the system slowdown can be clearly seen, due to both antivirii scanning the files being accessed. And twice the bandwidth for updating.
