To disable Norton Antivirus, you can follow these steps:
1. Locate the Norton Antivirus icon in your system tray (usually found in the bottom-right corner of your screen). It looks like a yellow shield with a green checkmark.
2. Right-click on the Norton Antivirus icon to open the context menu.
3. From the context menu, select “Disable Auto-Protect.”
4. A confirmation prompt will appear asking you to select the duration for which you want to disable Norton Antivirus. Choose the appropriate option based on your needs. For example, you can select “Disable Antivirus Auto-Protect” for 15 minutes, 1 hour, 5 hours, or until system restart.
5. After selecting the desired duration, click “OK” or “Apply” to disable Norton Antivirus.
Please note that disabling Norton Antivirus leaves your computer vulnerable to potential threats. It is recommended to re-enable it once you have completed the task that required it to be disabled.
