I installed AVG then install Kaspersky, during the Kaspersky installation
asked me to uninstall AVG, it seems Kaspersky does not like AVG?
However, if the other way around, installed Kaspersky first, then AVG, AVG
did not complaint Kaspersky.

Its not recommended to install two anti-virus programs, think they conflict
with each other. I had the same problem when I started out as well loading
AVG and AVAST at the same time.
You can have as many anti-spyware programs loaded on the PC, but onlt one
anti-virus.

Uninstall AVG and stick with Kaspersky - it's a better product.

You should have only one (1) *real-time* AV application installed.
You can (if you wish) have many more *on-demand* AV applications installed.

This is the most succinct and accurate comment, IMO...

You do get av that are purely on-demand, such as...
- free version of BitDefender
- Trend SysClean
- various cleaners, such as McAfee Stinger, Avast Cleaner etc.
...and they'd be OK to use with a single resident av.
In contrast, most "antispyware" scanners were on-demand only, such as
the free form of AdAware, and Spybot.
That's changing, although usually the free versions will either not
run resident, or if they do, will do so for a limited "trial" period
only (e.g. AVG Antispyware, formally Ewido).
In addition to av-style "mugshot recognition", these products often do
general integration monitoring on demand (no problem), passive
"tattoo" protection such as HOSTS, Restricted Zone settings etc. (no
problem) and behavior monitoring (may clash with others).
Some tools maintain a resident footprint, such as a SysTray icon, in
order to update themselves, without any resident behavior that might
clash with other resident tools, and that's OK too.
