Why can't you have two virus protection programs running at the same time?

Because both real time are on scanning the system at the same time which when it detects something that both of them knows they conflict of who is deleteing it first.
yeah, both anti viruses will fight with each other, either ways installing two antivirus will slow down your pc,
when you have bought a c.d of anti virus then install it. having two is always problem as others said it would give rise to conflicts.It is something like a woman having two husbands at a time.Instead of protecting your p.c, having two anti virus may stop p.c from running
In raw language they fight with each other. The antivirus companies don’t recommend it.
They conflict with each other. It seems that you would be more protected but it is similar to wearing two condoms. More protection does not always have the best outcome.
They conflict with each other!
One will attempt to block the other. Its called being "inhibitory". In this case one being good, two not only does not do better, it makes things a lot worse and may make both or either useless. Imagine its your job to pick flowers of a certain kind and another person comes along and tries to occupy your place doing the same thing as you and reaching for the very same flowers and ending not only pushing and shoving each other out of the way, but stepping all over one another. The flowers, if they get picked are getting picked pretty slowly. And how do either of you know you got them all? Will there be a hair fight? Anti-viruses don’t have tempers, but they do have muscles and teeth and simply shove each other around with the same effect as the flower picking thing. Actually, you may end up with a virus.
If you have two, get rid of one. Anti-virus companies have ingenius programming professionals and they compete with each other for updates, covering the virus "sieve" and making their anti-virus systems stronger. Stick with great ones like Panda, Avast, McAfee, Norton. Free ones are often better than the expensive boughten ones. Right now I’m testing out a new kind called Panda Cloud 1.0. Its really a new animal altogether.
