According to the experts on the SWI forum
having multiple AV programs on the same PC is OK as long as you do not run them at the same time-- AVG sets itself up to run automatically in the background, so you would have to shut it down, then run Avast!
SWI forums does caution against running more than one at a time- they say that there's a chance they will conflict with each other.
