Norton Endpoint Protection See's McAfee Virus Scan As Threat.

[Migration User]

i curently have norton endpoint protection installed on my pc along with mcafee virus scan enterprise.it blocks mcafee virus scan from scanning my computer. i want both programs on my PC 

i tryed to make a tamper protection exception but there is no option to do that

the message that pops up is a tamper protection message

I would expect this happen since it's never recommended to run 2 AV scanners on the same system.

Try a second opinion scanner such as Malwarebytes, Hitman Pro, Super Antispyware.

You should post this on the Norton Community forum for better support:

It is not recommended to run 2 AV scanners on the same system.

IT will conflict with each other. Same happening in you case.

I have seen lot of case unable to install Antivirus because of other AV scanner installed..

----Microsoft recommends that you have only one anti-virus program installed on your computer."If we have more than on AV running on the machine you would run into performance issue. As both we take resources. There is no harm in haveing two AV, but I feel it is not a wise move

This is what Symantec says http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH104806

Symantec strongly recommends that you run only one antivirus program at a time. Having more than one antivirus program active in memory uses additional resources and can result in program conflicts and false virus alerts. Your best defense against computer viruses and malicious programs is to keep your virus definitions up to date, and run Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect. If you choose to install more than one antivirus program on your computer, then only one of them should be active in memory at a time. (The Norton AntiVirus module that is active in memory is named Auto-Protect. Other antivirus programs will have different names for this function.)

If it is a standalone client in where you have SEP installed , then SEPM is not needed.

But if you more clients and you want them to be managed then we need SEPM.

Please go to the following  site :https://fileconnect.symantec.com/
