    Are there any problems with running different virus checkers/scanners
    on a system simultaneously? Both check on-access. 
    
    Thanks.

	Don't do it. The TSRs will tend to interfere with each other. It's ok to have multiple products installed for doing disk scanning, as long as only one "active" checker is enabled. Steve

	Thanks. Anyone know whether Dr Solomon or Macafee has better coverage?

	I don't keep two active on the PC at once, but I do have both SWEEP and NAV installed on my PC at home. I keep NAV active, but scan with sweep once a week. It doesn't hurt to be too careful. Ken

	According to a recent magazine test (PC Magazine? Windows Sources?), McAffee has better coverage than Dr. Solomon's and Norton beats both - they recommended Norton. With Norton you get free monthly updates forever. Steve
