I'm just guessing...
How would they line up to do the multiple checks?
Wouldn't it go something like this:
A call to read a file, hooked into the AV instead.
AV scans, returns to the original destination of the read request.
Since there is no obvious way to send it off to do a second AV
scan, I think running two would be a problem.
Or they would at least have to be aware of each other and co-operate.
Or the OS could handle it, if they wanted to.
Besides, I think *everyone* has always said that was a bad idea.

separately. But does it do any harm to run them at the same
time? Will one stop another from checking a file?
It might, but I've never seen it.
