Avast Antivirus is a popular choice for protecting your computer from threats. But in some cases, you may need to temporarily disable it for troubleshooting purposes. Whether you want to install a new software, access a blocked website, or resolve conflicts with other applications, disabling Avast can help. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to disable Avast Antivirus on your system.

Step 1: Locate the Avast Antivirus Icon

The first step is to locate the Avast icon on your computer. Look for the blue Avast icon in your system tray, usually found in the bottom-right corner of your screen. It may be hidden under the arrow icon if there are too many icons.

Step 2: Right-click and Access Avast Shields Control

Right-click the Avast icon to access a context menu. From the options displayed, select “Avast shields control” or a similar option. This step will open a sub-menu with various options to disable different aspects of Avast protection.

Step 3: Choose the Duration to Disable Avast

Once you have accessed the Avast shields control menu, you will see multiple options to disable different shields. Choose the duration you want to disable Avast protection based on your troubleshooting needs:

  • Disable Avast for 10 minutes
  • Disable Avast for 1 hour
  • Disable Avast until the computer is restarted
  • Disable Avast permanently (not recommended)

Make sure to choose an appropriate duration that aligns with your troubleshooting requirements and keeps your computer protected in the long run.

Step 4: Confirm the Action to Disable Avast

After choosing the desired duration to disable Avast, you will be prompted to confirm your action. Avast will ask if you want to proceed with disabling the selected shields temporarily or permanently. It is important to review the prompt carefully and double-check your selection.

Step 5: Avast Antivirus is Temporarily Disabled

Once you have confirmed the action, Avast will temporarily disable the selected shields and provide a notification confirming the change. You can now proceed with your troubleshooting or software installation.

Note: It is crucial to enable Avast protection once you have completed your troubleshooting to ensure your computer remains safe from threats.

Disabling Avast Antivirus temporarily can be helpful in troubleshooting specific issues on your computer. By following this step-by-step guide, you can easily disable Avast protection for a desired duration. Just remember to re-enable it once you have completed your troubleshooting to maintain your computer’s security. If you encounter any difficulties or persisting issues, it is always recommended to seek assistance from Avast’s official support channels or consult a professional.
