If this is the cause of all the problems, I guess all we can do is put
a note in the announcement. I do not think we can officially recommend
disabling anti-virus during the installation, but at least we can
explain the situation.
I am opposed to this. This is bad advertisement. We deliver a fully
functional product. There will always be cases with problems restricted
to software used by some persons. We should not announce this! I mean
look in the forums of e.g. LibreOffice or InkScape for virus alarms,
mangled registry settings and the like. Such cases will always happen.
We are only responsible to things done by the product we deliver.
I am not sure I understand why this is bad advertisement. Maybe you can
explain this a bit more.
I think, if the situation is explained that might be rather helpful.
Otherwise we end up with some users being frustrated if they cannot
install LyX. Worst case, they will not use LyX.
And while true that forums of LibreOffice contain some discussion about
false positives, they also clarify this on their pages:
