Can I install Emisoft Anti-Malware with Symantec Endpoint Protection?

[Maxxx58]

I have a giveaway 1-year license key of Emisoft Anti-Malware, I want to install it with my installed Symantec Endpoint Protection. But, I don't know if there is any confliction on my machine if I install Emisoft Anti-Malware and Symantec Endpoint Protection on same computer. Please give me a suggestion. Thanks for your reply!

Better be safe than sorry. In other words, installing one would be my recommendation. Emsisoft is a very good antivirus to have, which is why I would recommend it over Norton

Thanks, I will uninstall Symantec Endpoint Security and try Emisoft.

Already a full blown AV, I think before an old FAQ Emsisoft website where you can do it like a companion but its been totally revised.

I never tested or used MSI as for norton endpoint does have a good name. they both have good names since I never used mci and it has been long since i used noton it isnt fair to give an opinion. i would stick with what i have already install doesnt matter which one

Already a full blown AV, I think before an old FAQ Emsisoft website where you can do it like a companion but its been totally revised.

The Emsisoft Anti-Malware website states in Frequent questions:

"-Can it replace my current antivirus software?-
Yes. Emsisoft Anti-Malware is a complete antivirus solution that provides protection against all manner of threats that are lurking on the internet. Two full virus scanning engines are used to ensure optimal detection and cleaning, while the three-layered real-time protection prevents new infections from entering your PC"

But below it also says
"-Will it run on my PC?-
It’s a popular myth that you shouldn’t run two antivirus programs at the same time. We have spent considerable time building Emsisoft Anti-Malware in a way that makes it compatible with almost all other antivirus programs!"

The keyword here is "almost" unless someone test it, it will be hard to know whether the two are compatible or not.
Would be useful if they had a list of other antivirus/antimalware software that they tested the product with.

IMHO It's not a good idea to run two AVs Why in the Hell would you need two. I get along just fine with MSE and MBAB Pro.+WOT and safe surfing.
I know the internet is getting crazy, but come on friends. I realize that MT is all about malware, but some times it gets kind a crazy here.
If you make frequent image back ups, who's afraid of the big bad malware. Not me!!

We always have fun ( Though my profile pic may convey some other message ) ... Ok fun apart lets come ontopic. I have a very bad habit to go offtopic sometimes.

I do so enjoy the conversations you guys have very entertaining to say the least.

Sorry OP for going so far off topic.IMHO do not use two AV's in real time. They will conflict and cause you grief and one good AV software is all you need. I recommend running a AV program with MBAM Pro or the free version of Ad-Adware. They will run side by side in real time without conflicts

Emsisoft alone is too great! No need for mbam pro! Just install eam/eis and stay safe!

 

[XhenEd]

Can the key won here for EAM be applied for EIS also?
