I am running windows XP professional edition in my laptop in which I have also installed the AVG 2011 antivirus which is of free version. Now infrequently I believe various component of AVG might be conflicting among anything I'm demanding to accomplish. How can i suspend or disable individual parts of AVG antivirus in favor of a particular time era or waiting reactivated with the purpose of notice if there actually is a clash. I have gone through the manual and read it but couldn't come across a suggestion for this requirement.

The Resident Shield is the major module shielding you from viruses. It scans files/folders and if a virus is establish, it blocks the file from accessing it. This affects to executing infected software/programs, in addition to opening of virus attacked documents or whichever additional files. Turning off the Resident Shield is occasionally suggested prior to installation of new software otherwise drivers, seeing as it can put off conflicts that would otherwise happen for the duration of their installation. This though applies simply to restricted number of definite programs as well as drivers, and there is no common reason why AVG Resident Shield must interfere with an installation of whichever program.

I don’t think that you can disable all the components inside the AVG antivirus. You can disable or temporarily suspend some of the modules as you required. But still the main operating of the AVG will continue on your computer. That is some of the integrated tools of AVG still active and protecting your computer. Other thing is I don’t think that such a good antivirus program can conflict with other system processes, programs, application and installation. You might have installed some kind of third party apps or security apps which might be conflicting.
