Anti-Virus programs use a lot of your system resources.
During installation, the anti-virus is also making sure that its own files are installed unmolested as well as doing a quick virus scan of memory.
Choose your product carefully and do some research before buying. See what others have to say about different products so you don't regret your purchase.

During the installation process your computer is using more system resources so the computer will run slower. On high-end systems you will hardly notice it, on an older slower system your computer could slow down a lot.
If the installation program is badly written, so that it doesn't multi-task properly, then it could slow down any system. I see this with my favourite free anti-virus software...Avast
