What is the best way to temporarily disable avast to prevent problems when trying to install a new program?
Honestly i haven’t seen any program that would have problems with avast! while installing (games or programs). Also disabling it isn’t a smart idea if you don’t know for sure if package is perfectly clean.
Otherwise you can pause Standard Shield…
Right-click on “a” ball next to the clock,move mouse to Pause Providers and then select Standard Shield. Also don’t forget to resume it when you finish you task.
