I usually don't worry about that warning and nearly everything
installs properly anyway, but if you're worried about it
closing/restarting AVG is easier than uninstalling/installing, isn't
it?

The latest version does not have the option to stop it running (as far
as I can see). This is a nuisance if during installation of other
software you are told to turn off any anti-virus software.

In that situation I have uninstalled and later on re-installed AVG. It
is becoming enough of a nuisance to think of abandoning AVG.

I would have thought that temporarily disabling the Resident Shield
Component would make AVG invisible to installations of other software.
It's just the unticking of a box.

For the last 2 years I've chosen to have it permanently disabled, due to a
few performance problems with thumbdrives. Much software has been
installed without a murmur over that time.
