Why is it not recommended to have 2 antivirus programs running at the same time?
In: Technology
When the computer starts, the antivirus software stands guard at the over everything, like a bouncer at a club. There’s only one place a bouncer can stand, and if you try to put two there, they will fight for control of the bouncer position, and don’t let anyone in or out until they settle their feud over it, and the club, being the computer, has to wait for all of this before the party an start.
In some cases, both bouncers knock each other out and the club shuts down completely.
