What can you say about running two cloud antivirus?

[ifacedown]

Right now I am running both realtime Webroot Complete and the new Panda Free Antivirus 15. No conflicts so far, and light on my system. Should I remove one? Which?

If everything stays right, you do not have to remove any AV you use.

Webroot can be run as a "companion" AV

Does Webroot automatically runs as a companion AV even though I installed it first? I read in an article that Webroot installs as a Companion AV if it detected a running AV on the System (Of course I had Windows Defender built on Windows 8.1). I installed Webroot first then Panda. And, I read elsewhere that when another AV detects a malicious file and tries to remove it, Webroot voluntarily sets itself aside so the other AV could do its work, thus, no conflicts.

I've had no problem running Webroot alongside any other AV!
If you have no conflicts or BSOD's, then you can safely run both of the above without hesitation!
Cheers!

Okay, if you have a slow system, what AV will you pair with Webroot, aside from ESET, that is low on read/write operations on the disk?

@ifacedown

Out of interest what is the combined memory usage of both.
Thanks in advance

You are very brave!
If there's no conflict, good for you!

I've used it with Emsisoft without any slowdowns whatsoever!

Yeah Emsi is one of the bests... if not the best. But couldn't afford a license

 

[Venustus]

Do you have Eset?

 

[ifacedown]

Do you have Eset?

Yup. I could use it forever! Eset 8 Beta is already very stable... but I uninstalled ESET because I'm so tired of its old GUI.

How the RAM usage?

Eset is very good!
Dont worry about the GUI

I already answered this earlier

Sorry, I didn't catch that

 

[software182]

Why 2 if you can use 1 ?

I would like to try COMODO antivirus... But I couldn't configure it correctly... always sandboxes some system files

@ifacedown
Thanks so much for providing memory data.
A whole lot lower than what i presumed
