Avast Anti Virus and USB Disk Security

Asked By xcliffx 10 points N/A Posted on - 08/10/2011

On my PC, I have installed Avast Antivirus and USB Disk Security.

 

Would it affect the PC’s operation having multiple anti-virus applications on it? Will there be no conflicts between the two applications?

 

Kindly expound on this matter. Thank you.

Avast Anti Virus and USB Disk Security

Good Day,

It is best practice to install one antivirus to your computer or laptop and having 2 or multiple antivirus may cause conflict.

 

However, USB Disk Security is a protection for malicious programs trying to attack your USB drive. It prevents accidental disclosure of files and unauthorized copying of files. The publisher said that this program is compatible with other antivirus software and does not slow down or cause conflict to your computer.

Avast Anti Virus and USB Disk Security

USB Disk security is not a antivirus program. It is used to secure the disk only. Anyhow, Avast is an antivirus program and no other antivirus program can be installed on it. If you have installed both of programs, they will work fine but in your case, where system speed becomes slow, you can delete the disk security program because it will be of no use when an antivirus is installed rather you need to unplug your disk properly.

The proper way of unplugging your USB disk is using safety remove hardware. If your disk is plug and play device, then it will run for a long time through this process. The feature, safety remove hardware is available in the task bar tray you’ve shown in your message posting. You can use this feature and it will reduce the cost of your USB disk security.
