Is WebRoot SecureAnywhere complete security solution or does it work with Avira?

Hi,
We received a free business license for WebrootSecureAnywhere from our bank.  Is this a complete Internet/Anti-Virus Security System?  I downloaded and installed it, with Avira already on our system.  I was surprised that Webroot did not make me uninstall Avira.  
Do I keep both of them on my system?  Or should I uninstall Avira?
Thanks,
DPN

Hello DPN,
 
Welcome to the Webroot Community,
 
 
 WSA will play well with other security apps (it has been designed to do so from the outset) IMHO opinion you have no need to run them as well as WSA, which offers top notch protection on its own.
 
Please see below for a diagramatic explanation as to how WSA protects you:
 


 
And you may also find this KB Article of interest, and there is further useful information here about how well protected you are by WSA. Also why would you want to burden your system with added resources IMO. But the choice is yours. You can run both and see how they work together?
 
Hope this helps?
