Can I use more than one Anti-Virus software on my computer?

Running more than one anti-virus on your computer is not recommended unless specified specifically by the vendors. Anti-Virus product has some modules like real time scanning of files and real time scanning of mails, which seemingly integrates with OS to provide such services. Such integration can cause problems if there are multiple such services being installed and doing the same task. This way technical issues may arise as such modules are not designed with keeping such things in mind. Technical issues may cause your system to freeze repeatedly which may lead to data loss or unstable system etc.
