I believe it is "best practice" to disable AV when installing or developing software, precisely because it causes so much grief, so may I suggest something along the lines of "In line with standard advice on Windows, we recommend disabling AV while downloading, installing or compiling LibreOffice" somewhere prominent at the start of the instructions? That way, we're not telling them they must, just saying that if they don't then problems are likely to occur and LO is no different from any other software in that regard. (And last I looked, I remember AV programs having an option to "disable until the next reboot".)
