Avast or AVG

Hi

The clue is in the title, I currently have the free version of both avast and avg, installed on my laptop. I'm led to believe running both will cause neither to work properly. Is this true, and if so which is best to run alone?

Thanks in anticipation

David

You may be interested to know I have removed AVG and am running avast.
I expected someone to tell me I needed to pay for proper protection,but that's
not really the locost ethos!
