These r two diff category of softwares. U get the conflicts when u run TWO anti-virus softwares at the same time. they cant stay together. one has to get terminated.

The one i prefer is Just run Norton along with Antivirus Xp, with Adware se these three give u a much security then the rest of the stuff and the system will not Slow down.
