Apart from running at 100% cpu and memory (probably), is there any issue with running say MalwareBytes, SuperAntiSpyware and Avast at the same time?

I often run them one after the other and it is a pain waiting for them to finish, would be good to know if you could run them all at the same time.

Thanks!

Well as far as I know there should be no problem. However the scans will take longer. Run them one by one, or as I do. I run one the one night and the next scan the night after. That way it works while I sleep. :)

I would not recommend it. I can see the potential for conflicts, if not during the scan then probably during removal should anything be found.

-{ Quote: "I would not recommend it. I can see the potential for conflicts, if not during the scan then probably during removal should anything be found." }-Agreed, as well as the CPU it uses and as such your system will respond very slowly. Also your system may as well come to a halt. :-\
Better scan at predefined day and time, but not overlapping. :)
In short, not recommended. ;)
