Its always said that There must only be ONE captain in a ship. Working with 2 antivirus in one computer might not work well.

Get rid of one. Norton will not load if you have another virus program installed? So I don’t know how you got two.
You will cause conflicts between the two programs if you attempt to run them both and possibly leave your computer venerable to the virus you are trying to avoid.

Running more than one anti-virus program on a computer can cause system instability, as the two applications will conflict.
I suggest you remove Norton and Antivir, because Norton will slow down your computer. Antivir is not the best antivirus to scan your computer.
I recommend ESET NOD32 Antivirus NOD32 Antivirus is the best antivirus system in the market.
ESET NOD32 Antivirus provides:
Proactive Protection: The award winning ThreatSense technology combines multiple layers of detection protecting you from Internet threats before it is too late.
Precise Detection: ESET accurately identifies known and unknown threats. It consistently wins top awards from testing labs and is recognized for having zero false positives.1
Lightweight Design: Requires less memory and CPU power, allowing your computer to run fast, making more room for games, web browsing, and emailing.
Fast Scanning Speeds: Highly efficient program ensuring fast file scanning and product updates. It runs quietly in the background.

Yeah, despite what people say, it’s best to have more than one security scanner on your PC because they’ll cross-check each other with their different definition databases. But get rid of norton. It has no respect in the security community. Get some good freeware, like adaware, spybot, avg, avast, etc.

they will conflict with each other and wont work
Dump Norton as it slows down the computer and keep Antivir
You will need the Norton removal tool from Symantec i guess.
Or you could use Revo Uninstaller from

My Answer very simple ‘ NO ‘ why? The use of 2 anti-virus programs at the same time can cause major conflicts. The 2 scanning engines will fight each other to scan every file that you read, write or execute which can cause a slowdown. For the same reason, using 2 A-Vs can cause you to have less protection from the various malware, not more.
Running two antivirus programs at the same time can cause conflicts sometimes between built-in firewalls etc. it is not suggested.

It is not safe to have two anti-virus that provide real time protection because they may conflict with each other.
Avira AntiVir antivirus have the best detection rates
see comparison test
Keep the best and dump the rest.
It will make your PC faster by freeing up system resources.
