Hi chjamil,<br />
<br />
Well, you're right to tell him that it's not right to install more than one antivirus program in his laptop, especially both have guards (webshield, autoprotect,etc) , these programs if run together, there's a chance will let a real threat pass through the defense. Installing more antivirus programs does not mean that you'll be safer. you might (very likely rather) put yourself in greater risk!<br />

I you have two antivirus products on a single machine, they need to be set up to be mutually exclusive. &nbsp;e.g. &nbsp;AV-1 could be used ONLY for email scanning. &nbsp;AV-2 could be used for real-time and scheduled files system scans.

Other way is to try to think of having two guard dogs competing who will be the first to catch the thief :-)<br />

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
