It scans every single file that is being opened, saved, or copied, and guards the system areas of the computer. When Resident Shield discovers a virus in a file that is accessed, it stops the operation currently being performed and does not allow the virus to activate itself. Normally, you do not even notice the process, as it runs “in the background”, and you only get notified when threats are found; at the same time,Resident Shield blocks activation of the threat and removes it. Resident Shield is being loaded in the memory of your computer during system startup.

Sounds great! I figured there was a reason my cousin recommended it (and uses it himself). I just wonder if it's good to have both AVG and Avast on your computer. Will they conflict with each other or in some other way cause problems?
