How to Disable my Avast Antivirus?
Having an antivirus installed on your PC or laptop is essential; it protects them from a number of viruses and malware attacks. Avast antivirus is reliable antivirus software that you can choose for your device's safety. Many people use this software for the long term.
However, sometimes the antivirus software blocks certain sites from loading and interrupts your browsing. Some antivirus software even blocks the installation of trustworthy apps. To stop this interruption, you can't delete the whole antivirus software and make your device vulnerable to viruses. Fortunately, you can use an easier way to stop antivirus from getting in your way by disabling it for the time being. Avast Customer Service Ireland also suggests you disable their shield.
Follow these Steps:
- First, locate the Avast icon on your windows taskbar, and right-click to open its settings. If the Avast icon is not on your windows taskbar, you can open the software and its settings.
- Once you click on its settings, you will go to the page where you find disabling the Avast shields options. The options include permanently disabling the shields for 10 minutes, for an hour, or until the computer is restarted.
- Choose any option, and a small confirm screen will pop up. Confirm the option by clicking on 'OK,' after clicking on it; the shields will pause according to your chosen options.
- If you are not sure whether all the shields are off or not, you can confirm it by checking their status. Open the main window for antivirus, and you will receive a prompt saying Shields are turned off Prompt.
Note: you can also disable one Avast shield at a time. Disabling a particular shield can also help you complete your task. Open the Avast software, go to the Protection tab, and click on Core Shields to disable a particular shield.
If you don't get these steps to disable your Avast antivirus, you can take help from Avast Telephone Number Ireland. You can reactivate the disabled features after your task is complete. Open the same settings and toggle 'ON' to turn on the shields. Contact Support using the Avast support number if you are having problems reactivating the disabled shields.
