Somehow when I was editing, the website removed one of the AVs that I did not choose to remove. In the second paragraph with the other two antiviruses I'm pretty sure are companion AVs should be Tiranium Internet Security 2014 - Free.

Panda is a standalone AV , it cant be used as companion, that is it.
It is why i created this thread in the first place, i was an heavy AV "chef" here, testing compatibility between several AVs.
What you must know is that companion AVs are designed to let priority to the main AV. They kick-in only if the main doesnt react to a threat.
Using 2 main AVs may create a conflict when catching a malware. both fighting to quarantine it. I dont even mention driver issues.
In my sig you have a link for a guide about using 2 AVs

Absolute Antivirus has not been updated in two years, and does not receive current definition updates.

Panda added to Avira Free is NOT a wise way to go... both are big AV installations, and should be used on their own. Pandas cloud would do no help along side Avira both lack ZERO DAY protection.
It would be like having two firewalls; and no Antivirus,
Example: Zone Alarm Firewall + Comodo's... both working at same time, can cause unknown conflicts etc.
I plan to add an extra layer to my Avira Free, with Crystal Security. You can also try a 3rd party Firewall with Avira.... would be a good defense against malwares.

@Online_Sword: If you are going to check numerous forums with a simple keyword search, an official staff from Moderator can already confirm that concept can be a companion AV.
It's stated somewhere on their website and\or in their product literature...

Crystal security too according to this thread? Suggestion required for cloud antivirus
(In the same thread, Nico@FMA and conceptualclarity discussed Panda's compatibility with other AVs)

It can, i can confirm it because i closed-beta test it since its creation, it was when Prevx becames Webroot. At that time , they explicitly mentioned it.
During my years of testing, i learned that WSA will kicks in only in the case if your main AV doesnt react about a threat.
I have a thread in Webroot section explaining all that (with quotes from the devs)

Was going into Crystal Security for information.
Got this message notification from my office laptop. Using Sophos Endpoint Protection. False Positive?

Avira + Crystal Security works just fine without any issues from my 2 months usage. But do not install Avira + Panda, its a horrible combination that slows down the system quite noticeably.
It might be for the best to remove Emsisoft from the list considering the following
Could EAM still be used as a companion antivirus? - Emsisoft Anti-Malware - Emsisoft Support Forums
"The thing with compatibility is that it outright blocks a whole bunch of features we would like to add. That is why we no longer recommend using EAM alongside any other AV software. At the moment we are still compatible with pretty much all of them and if we can easily work around a conflict we will still do so. However, we no longer consider a degradation of compatibility a blocker for new features."
