Can I run Gridinsoft with another antivirus?

Can I run Gridinsoft with another antivirus?

Yes. Gridinsoft Anti-Malware works well as a second line of defense, catching threats that slip past your primary AV. To avoid conflicts:

  • Keep only one product’s real-time/web/network shields active. Use the other for on-demand or scheduled scans.

  • Add mutual exclusions/allowlists between both products to prevent them scanning each other’s files.

  • If you notice slowdowns or blocked network access, disable overlapping modules (e.g., one web filter, VPN, or our Internet Security), then re-enable with allowlists.

If issues persist, contact Support and we’ll help tune the setup.
