Can Live care One work together with other antivirus?

I am getting really curious about live one care, but I am running already an antivirussuite in my system: Bitdefender Securitysuite 2008. Can both run together?

Thanks.

No.
You must remove other antivirus programs and firewalls to prevent conflicts. All
security product vendors will recommend against running more than one a/v
program as this can cause system instability, performance issues and possible
crashes as the scanners step on each other's turf to look at each file and
process first.

Thanks.
I recommend going with Windows Live OneCare. In addition to virus scanning, it does evilware detection, system tune ups and backups. It's a complete package of utilities for your system. And for the single license fee, you can install it on up to 3 PC's in your home. It also has single button solutions for printer sharing on your home network as well. Overall it's an excellent program. And you get free premium support over the phone or online for any trouble at all you run into with the program. It is one of the software packages that appear on the short list of utilities for Vista. Here's the link: Short List of Utilities for Vista
