Is there a conflict in software if you have more than one security program on you computer(such as Webroot, Avg, Malwarebytes)?

Hello and Welcome to the Webroot Community!
You should not have any issues and I know quite a few that run WSA with MBAM but I'm not that impressed with AVG though. WSA is very strong as all the work is done on the WIN Cloud and not your PC: http://www.brightcloud.com/platform/webroot-intelligence-network.php and to keep up with almost 500,000 new malware everyday definitions is not the answer these days see here:
Thanks,
Daniel ;)

Hi GoldenRainbows
Welcome to the Community Forums.
If I may add to what Daniel has said...WSA has been designed from the outset (the vision of the original Lead Developer/previous VP of Endpoint Security at Webroot) to play well with most other security apps; letting them have precedence but stepping in as and when they are demed to have missed something, etc.
And from what we see here in the Community that is mainly borne out but the issues reported. One of the very big no nos is the twinning of WSA with BitDefender, as there are known issues there (do not believe that they are resolved). As for the other your best bet, given what I have stated above, is to suck it and see...although, as Daniel very correctly states, WSA is more than enough to provide you with the protection you need on its own.
