Yes, antivirus and firewall software can often interfere with driver installations by flagging legitimate files as threats or blocking necessary processes, leading to error 1603. To troubleshoot, temporarily disable your antivirus software and Windows Defender/firewall before attempting the installation again. Remember to re-enable them after the installation is complete to maintain system security.
