It is okay to have more than one anti-virus, but only leave one active at a time.

Having more than one active could lead to conflicts (between bboth aantivirus) and crash your computer.

I think Avast free is the best free currently, if security is your main concern then go with Avast else go with MSE.

I myself have no anti-virus installed currently, just using sandboxie for browser protection.

Good luck!

1 is more than enough.

Having multiple anti-virus conflicts with the system and might result in Windows to crash.

I would advise to use only one. Having more than one AV can cause system resource conflicts, slowdowns and unreliable behaviour of the system in question.

I would suggest using either MSE or Avast, though personally I'm more partial to Avast, having used it for years.

I believe that is just wrong detection by AVG. And, you don't really require having an antivirus installed in system, just a portable antivirus into a thumbdrive and you can scan at any time(without slowing down the system).
