    It is not advisable to run two AV.
    They may conflict needing to use the same system file.

    First of all, I hope this is okay and I'm not breaking any rule.

    I would like to have your help which free Antivirus you recommend ? Now I'm using Avast but I'm not sure that is that good.

    As far as I know there is Avast, AVG, Avira and Panda, Which one you is recommended by you? and Why ?

    I have been using Microsoft Security Essentials for a couple of years. Easy updates and it seems to do a good job.

    if only look at the detection rate, Avira takes the lead, which is what I am using now.

    and Hows the performance ? When I used Panda I think it's slowed down my computer a little bit, So hows Avira ?

    First time hear about this antivirus,In your experience, Hows the detection rate on this software and the performance ?

    This is why I told you to test them by yourself. Someone's machine performs good with X A/V but your machine, maybe.
