Avast antivirus free version question

[5parc mac]

I just downloaded it, but have a question.

I'm not advertising, just making sure. I have AVG internet security 2014, I know two security software's at the same time is a bad idea. But, I now have internet security (AVG) and avast anti-virus, but does the anti-virus come with any internet security? Am I good to go

The free version of avast is an anti-virus, it doesn't have a firewall.

The avast Internet Security (AIS) and avast Premier versions have firewalls, but they are paid options.

Internet Security is a name given to a security program to detail a number of features like firewall, antispam, sandbox that a regular free antivirus does not have; However, avast! free has you covered in Internet.

No, you need to uninstall AVG, and please run its removal tool so that AVG can not interfere with normal avast! functions.

It is not a good idea to run Avast and AVG at the same time as there could well be conflicts that could cause problems.  You need to decide which Anti-Virus you wish to keep but remember, if you remove the AVG Internet Security from your system, you will be removing its firewall too so you would be advised to install a replacement stand alone firewall such as the Comodo or Zone Alarm free firewalls.
