I need to download adobe flash player so how do i disable avast program ? when i tried to download the adobe flash player the avast program did a scan on the downloaded files and said they were corrupted and wouldn’t allow the instalation of the adobe files.so how do i disable avast long enough to download and instal the flash player without uninstalling the whole program?
Try turning off the resident scanner feature from the Avast user interface. Click on the “a” icon and set to disable.
You never has to disable any antivirus while downloading any program.
On contrary, you’ll be unprotected. Millions of avast users has Adobe Flash Player and never disabled avast to update flash. Update your avast and your flash. If you get any error, please, post a screenshot of the error message here.
Also, do you use a firewall? Which one? Which is your Windows?
