Another issue I've experienced in the past was that I couldn't install the
second AV as long as the first one was present.

I would suggest that you try before buy.

I am sure that most AV products hook into the windows file open processing
and therefore do NOT want or allow other AV products to be doing the same
(AFAIK there is no documented procedure for multiple processes to "line up"
so to speak - as there was on the mainframe systems like /370 with PSW
interrupt handling, but I digress and go back in time...)

When you pick an AV solution, you should pick the one that you think
provides the most timely updates and reasonable price for ongoing annual
updates etc.

Norton has quite an extensive background operation; McAfee somewhat less so
from what I understand. I use Computer Associates EZ-AV - a reasonable trade
off of performance and reliability and price IMHO. YMMV.

But two at the same time is not going to work under Windows methinks.
