multiple virus protection

Suppose I installed McAfee, Symantec and Trend Micro (PC-cillin 2006) all at the same time. What exactly would happen if a virus entered my computer? Would all that software be frustrated, or what? Thank you.

 

Hello abx,

I doubt that you would be able to even install the 3rd AV

Not a good idea to have multiple AV's - yes the system would lockup.

If you want to cross check your AV, then use the online scanners available from Trend or KAV and others.

Is this a general info question, or are you looking for suggestions for a new a/v?
The most important thing to keep in mind, regardless of which anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-spyware and firewall you use is to keep it UPDATED, just as it is important to make sure you have all windows critical and security updates.
