The analytical algorithms of antivirus programs sometimes issue a command to prevent the launch of applications that are not actually viruses. Most often these are programs designed to make any modifications necessary for the user to the system components. Suspicious from the point of view of the defender program, an executable file of this kind is launched only once or very rarely.
Instructions
Step 1
To prevent antivirus from interfering, you must either add the program to the list of exclusions, or temporarily disable protection.
Step 2
The sequence of actions when temporarily disabling antivirus programs from different manufacturers is different, but they have similar general principles. Some applications of this kind can be turned off by selecting the appropriate item from the context menu of the application icon in the notification area of the taskbar. To find out if this option is provided in your version of the antivirus, find its icon in the lower right corner of the screen - in the tray - and right-click on it. In the pop-up menu, look for the desired item. It can be worded in different ways - for example, in Nod 32 it is the line "Disable virus protection".
Step 3
If the item for disabling anti-virus protection is not in the context menu of the tray icon, find it in the full program interface. The easiest way to open it is by double-clicking on the same icon in the notification area. Some applications - for example, Dr. Web - require entering a special code - "captcha" before providing access to controls. In the control panel that opens, find the antivirus settings - if this is a comprehensive computer protection program, in addition to the antivirus, its other elements are presented in the interface (for example, a firewall). For example, in the AVG Internet Security application, you need to click on the Anti-Virus icon in the main interface window. Then find the checkbox or drop-down list that contains the disable command. In AVG Internet Security, this is the checkbox next to the "Enable Resident Shield" - the checkbox must be unchecked.
Step 4
Instead of temporarily disabling the antivirus, you can use the operating system in safe mode - with this boot option, only the minimum set of system programs required for the OS to function is launched. Antivirus drivers are not included in the favorites list. To use this method, open the OS main menu and initiate a system reboot. When a new boot cycle starts, press the F8 key, and in the list of boot options that appears, select one of the types of safe mode.
