It depends on what AV software was installed. I know a few will allow you to set up a "Do Not Disturb" type path in a registry setting that you can either create manually, push down via GPO, or via an admin console for the particular AV software.

However, when I inserted my USB to the client machine, the anti-virus software immediately removed my software. Is there any way that I can prevent the anti-virus software or any software from removing my software from the USB thumb drive before execution? Is there any way that can make the software become read-only/execute-only tools on the Windows platform? Please advise. Thx.
