When a virus attacks a system, it creates, replaces, deletes files and makes
new entries into the registry.
When you install a new program, it creates, replaces, deletes files and
makes new entries into the registry.

If the anti-virus program detects the program installer as viral activity,
it could prevent it from working properly and corrupt the installation.

How you disable the anti-virus program depends on which program you have
installed. Consult the documantation for the program.
