Although the standard advice from all good AV programs these days
is just that - uninstall others. There is a good reason for this -
when the system is booting up, there *may* be a conflict
of interest between the different systems - who takes
over the reigns first. (I have had my system lock up at boot-up time
when two different AV systems have struggled to establish
authority over each other.)
So, be warned- install both at your own risk. (Don't expect
any sympathy if anything goes wrong from EZ support after their
explicit warning.)
