Antivirus software installed on a personal computer may conflict with some programs during their installation. In most cases, the installation of programs is blocked, and therefore, for further installation, you must disable the antivirus.
Necessary
Computer installed with Norton antivirus
Instructions
Step 1
If you need to disable your antivirus software, there are two most common ways you can do it. Both methods are fairly simple and can be completed in a matter of seconds. It is worth examining them in more detail.
Step 2
Disable Norton antivirus through the application service menu. Paying attention to the system tray, you will see the active antivirus icon. If the icon is not visible, click on the arrow (in this case, hidden icons will become available). Right-click on the antivirus shortcut, then select "Stop protection". Please note that you can not only completely stop Norton's work, but also set a certain time during which the program will be inactive. This parameter is also set through the service menu. After the pause time you have specified, the program will be restarted by the system in automatic mode.
Step 3
Sometimes the program may not respond to your requests. In such cases, you need to terminate her work. This is also done using the system tray. Right-click on the program shortcut in the tray, then select "Exit". Thus, the work of the antivirus will be completely stopped. To re-enable the program, you will have to launch it via a bootable shortcut.
Step 4
If you cannot quit the program, you can force quit it. To do this, press the key combination "Ctrl + Alt + Del", then open the "Processes" tab. Select the required process and click on it with the right mouse button. In the window that appears, click on the "End process tree" item and confirm the operation. The antivirus will be disabled.
