Run scheduled tasks at same time?

[Guest]

I first posted this in Windows Security and Administrations,
but no response yet. So I'll try here.

For security I have running on my computer:

Avast 4.7 Home Edition, Spybot 1.4 free version,
AVG 7.5 free edition and Windows Defender with
the Malicious software tool.

Can I set them all to perform their scheduled tasks

at the same time? I only use my computer for about
4-5 hours per day and running all these tasks one after
another takes a long time and slows down computer
performance.

System: ACER TravelMate 2451WLMi

Intel Celeron M processor 410
1.46 GHz, 533 MHz FSB, 1MB L2 cache
Windows XP-SP2, Home Edition
Windows Explorer 7

Not only should you not run them at the same time, you shouldn't even
have two anti-virus programs like AVG and Avast! loaded and doing
their thing at the same time. I recommend picking one of the two, and
dumping the other.
