" disabling programs"


          


Hi, good morning....

Would it be a good idea to disable all running programs including my A.V.G. anti virus, and my SYGATE firewall, before downloading the ACRONIS DISC IMAGE 7.0?? ive always heard that it was a good idea to disable all running programs before downloading a program, but was not sure of the fire wall and anti virus programs.. don't i need the firewall to be en-abled in order for the download to acronis's server???? or once its disabled it wouldn't make much difference because its disabled?

thanks............

No do not disable the Sygate firewall or the AVG antivirus, I have the same programs and downloading Acronis 7 is no problem. But do not disable your security systems.

Actually, you should disable when installing, not downloading.

Downloading is when you get the file and put it on your computer.
Installing is when you run that file and it extracts the files (usually with some registry modifications), so that you can run the program.

Yeah, that's right. Usually, you don't even have to disable anything but to be safe, you should do it.

If you are on broadband, I would recommend that you either disconect the cable or turn the modem off after downloading and before installing. If you are on dial-up, be sure you are logged off.

good morning,
is it necessary? or a good idea? to temporarily disable system retore also before downloading, installing, and running, a disc image program, or just temporally disable system restore before running the disc image program alone after the downloading and /or installing of said program.......or just leave system restore alone?......

Chandra, leave the system restore alone, while downloading, only disable it if you are removing a virus. When you make an image of your hard drive and your system is running fine you could disable the restore if you are imaging to cd's to cut down the number of disks. That would be up to you.
