What that refers to is the real-time virus protection. Usually, you can right-click on the anti-virus icon in the system tray and there will be an option to disable it. If you don't have any kind of anti-virus program running constantly, you don't need to do anything.

I am not familiar with either of those programs, but if there isn't an option and nothing is running when you look at all tasks, then you should be fine. Anyway, I never disable my AV program when I download things, and I have never had a problem.

With AVG you just right click on the icon on the taskbar and select 'Shutdown AVG Control Center'.

I have Norton's AV and don't disable during download. I do disable while installing.
