Hahaha, users just don't get how things work and how to properly use a PC by the looks, Other security software companies probably have the same problem, It is noted on Malware Removal, and users get told not to have nore than 1 installed.
I have had a system appear with 5 products installed or parts of, (and there system still got infected haha).

What ever,, I am TRYING to get people to understand like others on forums do, Only 1 AV installed.
This also brings up something else, If a system has more than one AV installed, the user can't complain about either (or more) product not working correctly, Due to the fact it is the users doing, to cause problems.

Hi bikerart,
You are totally misunderstanding the nature of the problem. There is no threat on the system. AVG is falsely identifying the threat signature that Norton uses to detect JS/Phish - which is a small bit of code unique to the malware - as the actual threat, itself. Because all AVs use signatures to detect threats, whenever you have two or more AVs on a system, they can each erroneously start alerting to signatures in each other's definitions files. There was a demonstration that I once read about where AV1 detected a signature in AV2's files as a threat and tried to remove it. AV2 regarded this removal attempt as a malicious action and responded by trying to quarantine AV1. AV1 saw that it was under full attack and tried to quarantine the attacker, AV2. The entire system locked up. That's what happens. It has nothing to do with corporate competitiveness - it's the way antivirus programs work.

This a one way a Malware Removal member put it.
not recommend that you have more than one anti virus product installed and running on your computer at a time. The reason for this is that if both products have their automatic (Real-Time) protection switched on, then those products which do not encrypt the virus strings within them can cause other anti virus products to cause "false alarms". It can also lead to a clash as both products fight for access to files which are opened again this is the resident/automatic protection. In general terms, the two programs may conflict and cause:
1) False Alarms: When the anti virus software tells you that your PC has a virus when it actually doesn't.
2) System Performance Problems: Your system may lock up due to both products attempting to access the same file at the same time.
