first, make sure that avast! is updated.
second, if it doesn't work still, try adding it as an exclusion or ignore item (I don't know how to do in avast!, I don't use it.)

Because THAT would really be a good idea...
Anyway, you will need to add it as an ignore item. I don't have avast! either, so good luck finding someone to tell you how!

Well, its not like viruses will be magically pulled into your computer as soon as the antivirus software is turned off.
As long as you are not connected to the internet you should be fine.
