App Review Should you run more than one antivirus TPSC

It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

Haha, why would you want to? A number of products have multi-engine scanners such as Gdata and 360TS but it just doesn't make sense IMHO. Yes, you could just run Comodo Firewall (with @cruelsister 's settings) along with Bitdefender AV Free but running the full version of CIS is a mistake in this video.

I haven't got time to watch it in full at the moment but yeah, you should never run more than one AV engine or more than one firewall at a time because of the potential for false positives :)

My answer to this question "Should you run more than one antivirus" is No.

One effective antivirus is better. If necessary, you can have an antimalware solution installed along with an antivirus.
You can run the antimalware occasionally on weekends.
