Immunet can be used as a stand-alone AV solution if you wish but it is recommended that you do enable the ClamAV module & updates for it if used in this manner.

I'm sure you're aware that Immunet can also be used as a companion AV to several other AV packages for an additional layer of protection.

I copied this from the last topic in this section and it does have some useful info if you do decide to pair Immunet up with another AV.

Here are some officially tested & supported AV packages you can use with Immunet.

AVG, Avast!, Avira, Bit Defender, Comodo, Kaspersky, Microsoft Security Essentials, Norton 360, MacAfee & Trend Micro. There are also other unofficial AV's that will work too. For instance I currently have Panda Dome Advanced paired with Immunet.

If you do decide to use another AV make sure to create an exclusion/exception/allow rule for Immunet's entire Program Files folder directory with the other product. If a default Exclusion is not present with Immunet it's best to also create a custom Exclusion rule for the other AV's Program Files folder as well. That can considerably help with possible current/future conflicts occurring between the two AV's 

Also, if you do use Immunet as a companion AV to another product it is recommended that you disable the ClamAV module & updates for it. Just use the ETHOS & SPERO cloud engines. That will improve system resources being utilized.

So it's up to you how you wish to use Immunet, by itself or teamed up with another AV.
