If planning for trio engines: ESET, Bitdefender and Avira then it will increase 0.00001 percent + it can cause consumption of resources problem + drivers conflict.

Just add code CS (Common sense) and that will not cause conflict. ;)

if u find eset is not enough you can ad some pure anti executable software like Voodoshield,novirusthanksexe or other similare products. They dont conflict with ur main av,are realy light and are a great extra layer of protection.

1. I would recommend in picking just ESET Smart Security
2. There was a discussion on Wilders regarding 360 compatibilty with other security programs.
In Total Security changelog, it reads (Since they added replaced IS with TSE, I can't find IS version history)

(http://www.360totalsecurity.com/en/version/ts/)
" v5.2.0.1074 Nov 25, 2014
  • Added: Improve performance when installed with other anti-virus software"
Regardless of that, most users agreed that you should use only 1 antivirus software.


I don't recall if anyone has tested the validity of that changelog. And the compatibility with other security software might not work with the latest version though.

But like already said, I would suggest ESET Smart Security.

One rule of thumb is never installed two programs AVS in the system because this leads to problems, you have to decide who is to be installed.:mad:

even if u managed to white-list them and had no conflicts, no problems or whatsoever .. the question remains is why would you need them both ? you might have a neglected increase in protection if any ...
IMHO you're better of sticking with ESET for real-time protection (since you already have a licence).. u can add a secondary on demand-scanner .. you can also add something like sandboxie if you run lots of unknown software with the potential of being infected
 
Keep it simple and stick to ESET Smart Security.

For typical use there is more than sufficient protection using ESS.

If you focus on learning to use ESS at a high level, then your system will be protected much more than the combo you are attempting.

ESS has all the necessary tools... it is learning how to use each of them with skill that is the hard part.

On top of it all, combos - while they can be achieved - are difficult to sustain due to many potential issues.
