Before installing any software on your computer it is very important that you disable
your anti-virus program. Anti-virus programs have the ability to corrupt files before
they are finished being created, rendering them in-operable.
To disable your anti-virus program, locate and right-click on the anti-virus icon in the
lower, right-hand corner of your screen (near the time display) and disable the
program. Disabling your anti-virus program in this manner is temporary, and your
anti-virus program will reactivate when you reboot your computer.
