Place trainers in a single directory/folder such as c:\trainers
add that folder to your AVs exclusion list.
Make shortcuts to the trainers.
Problem solved.

Or there is that. But generally most folk dont know how to and since you should not really be going to sites that are bad.. Then you should be safe with turning it off to. There is many ways. I use AVG Free and do what mykl_c did.

Thanks Mykl_C. I didn't know you could do individual file exclusions in a av. It worked fine, Thanks again all of you who posted too.
