How to temporatily disable AVG Free

Just an FYI--whenever you are installing ANYTHING....disable your antivirus program.....especially when installing windows updates......these little buggers have wrecked more machines than I can tell you!

here's how

To temporarily disable AVG from running in the background open the AVG user interface (double click system tray icon) and then double-click Resident Shield. Under Resident Shield Settings (towards the bottom) remove the tick from the Resident Shield Active box - click Save Changes and exit.

To restart repeat the process in reverse (ie replace the tick).
