It's a good idea to disable av when installing, but not when
downloading. After all, you want to be sure the programs you are
downloading aren't viruses! To temporarily disable NAV, right-click on
the icon in the systemtray (far right-hand lower corner of the
desktop). You'll then be able to left-click on "Disable". Now you'll
see a red "x" over the icon. Install your program. Don't forget to
right-click on the NAV icon again and choose "Enable".
