Is it OK to have MORE THAN ONE AV PROGRAM installed?

Running Win98SE I was having problems with my email, which I found to be attributable to Norton AV. My cable provider gave me their AV program (Computer Associates' EZ-virus) which I'd like to try. I know it's dangerous to have more than 1 AV program running, but if I keep Norton disabled, would it be OK to then install and have EZ-virus running in the background? Normally, I'd just uninstall NAV, but I went nuts a couple of years ago trying to uninstall Symantec software, and will try to avoid that like the plague.

Hi, if you go to the Symantec website and search for your version of Norton it is easy to remove, you have to download a small removal tool is all, hope this helps!!

Thanks, but I'd rather not mess with that if I don't have to. If leaving NAV disabled won't cause problems, I'd rather do that. At least until I'm convinced EZ-virus doesn't also cause problems. I'm trying to find out if the 2 AV programs will conflict if only one is running.
