Problem identyfing a Norton listed virus, as a threat?

AVG Protection
4

Hello Peter,
We do not recommend our user to run two antivirus programs at the same time. Because a competing antivirus program that is monitoring and sending information about your system tends to look like a virus, so it will attempt to block and remove each other. When an antivirus program encounters a virus, it removes it and quarantines it. But if a competing antivirus program sees that quarantined file and wants to remove and quarantine it in accordance with its own objectives, then it will repeatedly send reports and notifications about this virus that it is detecting, even though it is no longer actually a threat to your system. If you don’t want to continually get bogus warning messages, this will be a problem for your computer. (1/2)

I have just loaded AVG and it has found the following;
Win64-Evo-gen [Susp]
In…\N360_22.8.1.14\CmnClnt\00001050.tmp
…x86)\Norton 360\Engine\22.10.0.83\n360.exe

I was told by Norton’s that this is just in a list of Norton viruses, and not a threat. But AVG decided to quarantine it.

Is this a bit of gamesmanship or just a genuine mistake? I have only just loaded this program.

I do like the tune-up part, seems to have found loads of stuff that needed changing.

Antivirus programs use a lot of your system memory to conduct system scans and other related operations. If you have two of these operating simultaneously, your system’s effectiveness can be greatly diminished or completely wiped out altogether, and without any benefit, since the two are performing redundant operations. When it comes to protecting your computer, more protection is not better.
