The two antivirus programs will conflict with each other and the computer will probably not work well.

Do not install AVG on an IRS Computer Loan Program computer. IRS Computer Loan Program computers come loaded with antivirus software other than AVG and depend on the Windows firewall for protection from network-originated threats. Configuration of the Firewall component for private networking is covered in Appendix C1 of the “Networking TaxWise for Tax-Aide” document, soon to be updated on the AARP Tax-Aide ExtraNet Technology web page. For computers that participate in TaxWise client/server networking or networking for printer sharing only, this document covers AVG 9.0 program installation and configuration of the Antivirus component. Complete AVG 9.0 installation and configuration instructions are provided in this document for use on computers that are not involved with local private networking. The two that we want to focus on are those that provide 1) Antivirus protection from threats introduced by removable media or downloaded files, and 2) Firewall protection against threats arriving over an attached network. The AVG Security Suite has many components and it provides a wide spectrum of protection from malware. Note that the existing instructions for AVG 8.5 are still on the Extranet. If you decide to upgrade you may find that some of the screen shots shown in the document are somewhat different than those in this instruction. However this document covers only a new install of AVG. For users currently running the 8.5 version, upgrading to the 9.0 version is optional. Thus if one needs to install AVG on a new computer then this is the version that will need to be used. The 9.0 version is the most recent release by AVG. AVG INTERNET SECURITY 9.0 Installation for AARP Tax-Aide The following pages show how to install and configure version 9.0 of the AVG Internet Security suite, including the Antivirus and Firewall components, for use on computers used in the AARP Tax-Aide program.
