Well you can deactivate that yourself manually anyway. No need to run 2 separate AVs in parallel. Just waste of resources.

i just did a fresh install on my laptop a few days ago and i have been experiencing a slight problem since then, my pc hangs for 4-5 seconds randomly....
it has always happened when i am on chrome (which is all the time), i don't think its a chrome issue though..

anyone has any idea on why this is happening?

Guys, I'm seriously screwed! The thing is I'm into editing and now I hit upon Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Pro (used Corel Draw before of course). But both these softwares don't work on a 32-bit OS and I have Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit. Should I buy Windows 7 64-bit or Windows 8? And btw, I will be playing old and new games which might even seldom include Prototype, Prototype 2 and Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer. Otherwise, all the latest games. Also, just inform me if CoD4 multiplayer works fine (with xFire) on Windows 8? Plzz guys, help me. I literally feel miserable not being able to use those softwares for editing mainly because I have used a lot of Premiere Pro in my school for a competition and I need it badly.

Strictly speaking its illegal, all windows software products sold in retail will come with physical disc, certificate of authority,

If someone is selling without them means he his selling keys which they acquired through Dreamspark, Bizspark, MSDN AA, OR other MSDN subscriptions which are strictly only for the person who have the subscription.

I would strongly recommend against buying it.

If you have a less budget go with Windows 7 Home professional it will cost a lot less

I agree to this. Chances are they are from large volume keys(Offered to College Universities) or the sources he mentioned.

BTW they are illegal, but not tracable, You are safe to use and activate them. I can confirm this. ;)
