How to Temporarily Disable the Norton AntiVirus

Monday, July 18, 2011


The process of temporarily disabling Norton Antivirus is quick and straightforward. If you wish to disable all Norton Antivirus components in your system, you might need to consider disabling other related programs like Norton Internet Security or Norton Personal Firewall, if applicable. Both of these contain a built-in Norton Antivirus component.

Instructions

Disable Norton AntiVirus

Launch Norton Antivirus. Double-click on the Norton Antivirus icon from the system tray, adjacent to the clock on the bottom-right corner. If this does not apply, locate the Norton Antivirus icon on your desktop.

Click on "Options" and select the "Auto-Protect'' tab. Locate the check box that corresponds to the "Load Auto-Protect at Startup" option. If the check box is checked, click on it to leave it empty (disabled). Click on the "OK" button to confirm the action.

Go to Windows system tray, located on the bottom-right corner of your screen, adjacent to the clock. Right-click on Norton's small icon. A drop-down menu displays. Select "Disable Auto-Protect."

Select the duration, from the list of options, that you wish to keep Norton Antivirus disabled. Confirm the dialog box as necessary. A bubble message will display in the Windows system tray, alerting you the antivirus has been disabled.
