a conflict?

Shouldn't be. I have done this in the past with no problems. However, if the
two are scanning or updating at the same time the system will slow down. Why
not uninstall McAfee and then install AVG?

Thanks to all for your suggestions. I passed this info on to my friend. Good
stuff. Stan

To clarify what some have said here, in general you can have two AV programs
installed at the same time. Just make sure only one is set for active (on
access) scanning. The other can be used for on demand scanning.

That said getting rid of McAfee is a good thing. McAfee and Norton both are
problematic. So first uninstall McAfee, then install AVG. Another good
free AV program is Avast.
