what to disable in avast 4 home edition

[nugar]

I've installed Avast 4 Home Edition and was wondering what do I disable in Avast 4 to install new software, as some if not most of them ask you to disable any Anti-Virus software so that you don't get corrupted installs.  Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi nugar,welcome to the forum.If need to , I suppose standard shield as it is the protection of your OS.

As long as you have faith in what you`re installing then right click "A" ball and stop on access protection while you install. It should restart when  (and if) you reboot. otherwise left click and start again when you are finished if not rebooting.
good luck

There is no need to disable a anti-virus when installing applications.
Just ignore those anouncements.

I recommend this program to kill applications if you really find it necessary.
Process Explorer for Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP/S2K3

I don't recommend killing avast like this, if you really need to disable it, please stop resident protection (right click on the (a) icon), and/or stop the service "Avast! antivirus".

At all cases, if there is some situation when the antivirus should be running than it is during the installation of new software into your comp!!! If the software is not able to install with antivirus running, than probably it's a virus itself or such a lame product you should not be installing it at all.

You might want to disable avast when you play CPU and disk intensive games, or perhaps during some other task when every picosecond matters, but never during installs.

Other way is to chose lower lever for scan. Or on what action to scan (open,create,remove,rename,..) Avast will still continue scan but with less conflictes if it can be some.

There should be no conflicts. I never disable the antivirus protection for nothing, even less to install or test new software.

I'll say the same.

The same, again
