Interested to know what is your plan of action and why
Reason for asking is that I used to have the same setup for my girlfriend's laptop and my own desktop. Recently I spoke a colleague who on purpose uses different AV's for each family member. He argues that the chances of losing all data by infecting each other is less when you use more/different antivirus engines. So he uses Panda (himself), Windows Defender (wife), Bitdefender (Son) and AVG for his daughter.
