That is correct. The paid version has real time protection and will run along with your antivirus program with no problem. The free version doesn't have real time protection but I use it as a secondary program to catch what my antivirus program may not catch.

When I last checked, the paid version does have some realtime protection but the free version does not. The article seems to be referring to the free version. I have also heard it said that one should not run two separate virus protection programs at once. However, there is still somewhat of a division between virus protection and malware protection. There is some overlap between the two. Still, I know of people who do run both, and the results are going to depend very much on the two programs being run. I have tended toward relying on frequent scans to deal with malware and only running a virus protection program, but you will find that everyone tends to have their own approach.
