Hi all,
my question is about the pre-installed HP Wolf Security Software and if there is a need to install in addition an AV solution like Kaspersky Internet Security.
Does it make sense or do I have some issues because of parallel running AV scanners?
Thanks for your feedback.
Frank

It may be of interest to note, that HP has published an advisory web page for enterprise users of HP Wolf Security, URL: https://www.hp.com/us-en/security/endpoint-security-solutions.html
That website lists recommended Directory Exclusions and File Exclusions, intended to prevent third-party security tools (running at the same time with HP Sure Click Enterprise) from scanning specific files belonging to HP Sure Click, Bromium and related applications within HP Sure Click. Those Directory Exclusions and File Exclusions should be implemented in third-party security tools, each tool with its own unique instructions for making such exclusions. Similar recommendation could be also applicable to non-enterprise versions of HP Wolf Security, found in high-end HP Z workstations. Personally, I have long ago defined such exclusions and managed to prevent collisions between HP Wolf Security and Norton Internet Security in HP Z8 G4. Exclusions of the reverse kind are also recommended, to defend the other security tool files and folders from being scanned and attacked by HP Wolf Security. This is done in HP Wolf Security - Settings - Exclusions - Manage HP Sure Sense Exclusions tab. If all this sounds exaggerated, remember that in cyber security forums, MalwareBytes users are regularly recommended to implement exclusions to prevent collisions with anti-virus applications, that are commonly installed side by side with MalwareBytes due to their differing spectrum of coverage.

hi
It is important not to install two antivirus at the same time
you have to make a choice
if you have a test version of the antivirus preinstalled, you can wait until the end of its validity, before installing a new one
If you replace an antivirus, check the possible uninstall options so that it is removed properly!

Yes, it doesn't seem easy for everyone
the best, remains to use only one antivirus at a time in order to avoid conflicts
