A number of installers recommend that you disable AV/AS software during installation as well...
Bamse:
But is that because security programs conflicts with installer or because there is little trust in users ability to handle popups and questions? Experience might suggest developers to cover their butt because of paranoid/clueless users who mess up installation with their protection shields. Who to blaime?
Darwin:
Bamse - I'm sure that the answer is the latter of your suggestions, rather than the former, but WTF? I guess we have to blame the clueless end-user, education must be the answer.
