How Do I Make Trend Micro and Norton Play Nice Together?
I have both Norton and Trend Micro, but after this latest Trend Micro upgrade, Trend is telling me I need to uninstall Norton, but the two have worked perfectly together before this latest update. Is there a way to resolve this where both products remain installed?

You shouldn't have two AVs running on the same system. They will interfere with each other and drag down your system's performance. I would dump Norton, not saying that because this is a Trend site, but because Norton is usually garbage.

Hi @pnnewman and @davevt31 , Thanks for your help with our community and this statement is a factor on why Trend Micro recommends removing other AV's during installation.
Trend Micro Antivirus values detection accuracy and maximizing performance on your device, having 2 different AV's running on your computer would actually affect the detection on your device due to both running at the same time and with this, it would also add into your CPU and Ram consumption leading to slower device performance.
Hope this helps!

If at this time and age you do not know yet that you shouldn't run TWO antiviruses at the same time, I would suggest to stick with Windows Defender.....
