The point that I'm trying to make is that I would not do it for ANY
source.

Chances are, WT doesn't manufacture the discs, but has a third-party
do it. Perfectly clean disc images have been known to pick up
hitchhikers at the factory. Microsoft has been embarrassed this way, as
have others. In other cases, the master is already infected.

This is the same attitude that people take when they open emails from
their bank which ask them to click on a link and type in all kinds of
personal information.  I'm sure that some emails like that really are
from the company's own mail server, courtesy of a hacker who got
access.

My point is, you SHOULD NOT turn off your antivirus unless it just
plain doesn't install properly with.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
