I am currently using both mcafee virus scan enterprise and avast in my laptop right now, I have a huge ram (4 gigs) and a good processor, Do u think its ok to keep them both running at the same time ? Is mcafee virus scan enterprise any good ? I know it hogs resources but I have resources to expend.. Also, i got this both for free…do u guys think i should keep them or get rid of one ? I don’t plan on paying money for an antivirus unless its strong recommended.

No, you can’t keep them both on your computer. Never have more than one anti virus program on the same computer. They will work against each other.
Because you have not paid for McAfee I would uninstall it with the help of this uninstaller

Because free programs are never completely as secure as the programs you are paying for I always recommend not to install either AVG free or Avast free, but one of those 2 in combination with 2 other programs.
AVG free

or
Avast free

Then the 2 programs you should install togehter with one of the above.

When you do not have a good firewall yet, you could install this one

Installing these programs, will not use any extra RAM or CPU usage.
Your computer will be very well protected and it does cost you nothing
