True, but only if you start the Windows (re)installation from within Windows itself. If you start out by booting from the CD, no AV client is running as a process. Still, good to check. Also, to be safe, disable System Restore for the moment in your (semi)working system. Right-click on My Computer, select Properties, click the System Restore tab, and checkmark the "Turn off System Restore on all drives" option.
