I was planning on running Kapersky antivirus (not security suite) +
comodo free on an XP Pro machine, but a colleague tells me that Kapersky
comes up with a message saying it won't install if comodo is already
there. Is this true, as I can't find any evidence in google about it

It may be true for Kaspersky Internet Security (basically KAV with
firewall and other components) but I'm pretty sure not for KAV. You
could enquire at the Kaspersky home user forum
(http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showforum=4)
where you get fantastic responsive help from users, beta testers and
Kaspersky employees alike.

Probably true. To get around this, you may be able to install KAV
first and comodo second, though I have no idea why anyone would
want both.

... possibly because KAV is anti-virus and comodo is a firewall?

I had thought of that, but if there was a reason why KAV displayed this
message it would be better in the long run to try and not circumvent
this by installing the other way round.

I am in the position where I am building my PC and taking image backups
at various points. I definitely want to use KAV, but I didn't want to
unnecessarily register for a trial version of KAV each time in case they
got suspicious of my IP address since each PC has to have its own
licence.


Many thanks to the others that have replied too
