Would be any problem having 2 different antivirus/scanning programs at the same time?

Our Experts and VIPs will probably tell you that WSA is compatable with other AV solutions, but another solution is totally unnecessary and will only slow you >:D

Hello Blanca,
Welcome to the Webroot Community,
Thank you@ you are correct when you say Webroot is compatible with most AV's.
WSA is DIFFERENT. It was designed to be compatible with other AV solutions. WSA and other AVs can actually work together just fine.
Many of the users here on the Community, however, tend to feel that there is no need to use more than one AV solution in an active state at the same time. That being said, there are many who DO use WSA along with another solution.
You do not need to remove Webroot when installing another antivirus program. Although it has historically been the case that multiple antivirus systems would not work properly alongside each other, Webroot is an exception to that rule.
Hope this helps?
