Why You Should Always use Single Antivirus on a Computer

A computer without antivirus is like a car without door, anyone can enter. We must have good antivirus to get rid of virus, trojan, malware etc.
It is compulsory to have a antivirus on your pc. You may thinking about dual antivirus for dual protection But no one suggest you to use double antivirus in single computer . You may think if one antivirus could not detect another will detect but it is really bad idea. Do you want to know why?

What will happens when single car have two drivers? Same happens with computer. Some antivirus such as Kaspersky strongly recommend to install single antivirus on your pc but some other antivirus can be installed on your system although you already have another. I found it weird, some company are allowing user to install their antivirus on their computer although they already have another. They know installing dual antivirus is useless idea. May be they are doing this because they don't want to loose single costumer.

Why Using Multiple Antivirus on Single PC is Bad Idea?

They try to Remove Each Other

Most of top antivirus company collect data, virus sample, and system info to be prepared for new virus, malware. If you installed two antivirus then they will find each other suspicious because both antivirus seems like collecting data and sending them to hacker from each others eye. So they want to kill each other.

It Makes Your Computer Slow:

Single antivirus or simply real time protection system can make your system slow if you have low RAM and Memory. Think what will happens when if you installed dual antivirus. Your system face dual speed slow over this they are fighting with each other.

Problem When Detect Virus

If you turned real time protection on for both antivirus then you may face another problem. When an antivirus program encounters a virus, it removes it and quarantines it. But if a competing antivirus program sees that quarantined file and wants to remove and quarantine it and the same process may repeat, even though it is no longer actually a threat to your system. You will keep getting notification. Its irritating if your system is secure and you are getting a lots of notifications.

Some people says I am using multiple antivirus on my system and not facing any problem. If you are one of them then don't forgot to share your secrets of using multiple antivirus on single system without facing problem.
