Hi, I was wondering if i could run Avast & SecureAPlus together without any conflicts, i like the idea of SecureAPlus utilizing 12 anti-virus engines and would like to add it to my security configuration. I installed the 'No Offline AV' version which supposedly runs alongside your existing anti-virus for added protection, however i do believe SecureAPlus has a white-listing feature and i already have Avast set to Hardened Mode: Aggressive which is also considered program whitelisting. What do you think? Let me know.

Unless your computer is pretty strong eventually having both alongside other programs you might have will probably slow down your computer. I find choosing 1 would be enough. As an Avast user Hardened mode is great but SecureAPlus has been pretty tempting too.
I have a powerful gaming PC slow downs is not an issue. ;)

Agreed with J Gamez065. Pick one, and I'd recommend adding an anti-executable. No reason to have like 13 engines when you can just one, and have your anti-executable block anything that AVAST misses.
Are there any good free anti-executables you would recommend?

SAP is plenty by itself, but yes you could get away with it as long as your pc can handle it which shouldn't be an issue cause they are both pretty light.

In natural yes SecureAplus is meant to be companion base to any AV including Avast.

However in my view, let Avast do the work alone as Hardening Mode can be strong enough for anti-exe base whether online or offline.
