Sophos anti virus/Iantivirus

jeffeilp

Question! I have I-antivirus installed on my OSx/snowleopard. Can I install Sophos MAC home edition also without uninstalling the I-antivirus? Can both run at the same time? Thank you!

    The key here is "PC Tools iAntiVirus™ provides real-time protection and comprehensive system scanning to ensure your Mac remains safe and virus free. "

    As a result, the real-time protection mechanisms may conflict with each other, which is why we recommend you uninstall previous antivirus products before installing SAV Mac HE.  Disabling the real-time protection might be enough, but there is a remote possibility that SAV might detect something in its detection files as malcious as well.  Official response is still "don't run two real-time AV products at the same time."  Sorry.
