I think there is no program that monitors conflicting software (please correct me if I'm wrong). But there are some that monitors running processes like System Explorer. You can even save snapshots of history for comparison.

There as some installers that checks for program incompatibilities, mostly AVs/AMs, that check for other programs installed with issues before it installs itself. Ex. Kaspersky Security Cloud ask me to uninstall 360 TS first before it proceeds with its installation.

I've tried to run Eset 3 times and my system has froze each time, I am running windows ten.
Is there anything that can come close finding conflicting software
Or at least give you an Idea what to look for

I think I get what he needs. He wants a software that will run in the background monitoring processes and alerting you that avpui.exe is not compatible with avast.exe and will most likely conflict sooner or later.

There's no such software as far as I know, and I think that would be hard to do since it would need permission to overthrow antivirus processes and they have admin rights + temper protection.

You need to check at Windows Error Logs.
