(newbie) install/configuration question

[NateDog]

Hmm.  When you say 2 is better than one.........do you mean run both virus
scanners?  That would be cool, like a backup fail safe kinda thing.  If one
doesn't catch a virus maybe the other will kinda thing?

I have no idea.

But 2 is better than 1, and since ClamAV is free, I don't see any reason why
one shouldn't run it.

I don't think there is a clean-cut answer to "what AV is best".

I've seen that kapersky usually updates faster than any other commercial
product, but it is quite expensive.

Also, if definitions are not tested enough, you might get false positives...
