An adware virus can insert advertisements directly into websites that you open in your browser, making it appear as if all the advertisements were added by the website owners. Moreover, there may be cases when adware replaces advertisements added by site owners with another, often dangerous, click on which can lead the user to a harmful or deceptive site.

Despite the fairly high popularity of Panda Cloud Antivirus among users, it has several disadvantages: the percentage of virus detection is not very high, the quality of scanning directly depends on the Internet connection. The advantages of the application include the following:
Small size;
High installation speed;
Laconic menu;
No strict resource requirements.
CHECKING YOUR COMPUTER
Virus scanning has three modes. To display them in the main program window, go to the tab Antivirus, press the button Check now. Select the appropriate option from the drop-down list (Fig. 4.76).
Optimized scanning. Recommended test mode. However, the average user is unlikely to guess what is hidden behind the word “optimized”. The manufacturer claims that Panda Cloud Antivirus will scan those computer folders that usually contain malware, and this, in turn, will allow the scan to be carried out as quickly as possible.
Scan my entire computer. In this mode, Panda Cloud Antivirus will check all the information on your computer (disks, memory, etc.). This may take a long time.
Custom scan. Allows you to scan the most suspicious files and folders on your computer. For example, a folder with files downloaded from the Internet. After selecting the Custom scan mode, a navigation window will appear where you need to check the boxes next to the objects that should be scanned for viruses (Fig. 4.77).
Rice. 4.76. Antivirus tab
Rice. 4.77. Navigation window during custom scan
Please note: your computer must be connected to the Internet during scanning. The effectiveness of the check depends on this.
You can adjust the computer scan through the Advanced settings menu. To get to it, click the button of the same name on the tab Antivirus(see Fig. 4.76).
Panda Cloud Antivirus warns you that these critical settings are optimally configured by default. Failure to manage these settings will negatively impact the security of your computer.
So, you have four tabs in front of you (Fig. 4.78).
Check. Combines scan settings. The more parameters are enabled, the more detailed the scan will be (its time directly depends on the thoroughness of the antivirus).
Basket. Previously infected files are stored here for some time, which can be restored after the virus is neutralized. In the corresponding menu, specify how long the infected file will be stored.
Alerts and reports. Here are the settings responsible for timely notification of antivirus actions. You can turn off notifications or, conversely, get more detailed information as a text file.
Exceptions. Allows you to block antivirus scanning specific folders. Use the buttons Add And Delete to enable this feature.
Rice. 4.78. Advanced settings menu

Experienced users quite often encounter a situation where they need to disable a security program. So how do you disable your antivirus if you need to download or run something that it potentially won't like? In most cases, the operation of such programs can be suspended in approximately the same ways.
Why turn off antivirus protection?
By the way, why might you even need to disable your antivirus? There are reasons. You shouldn’t immediately think about installing and launching all sorts of hacks for programs and applications. Much more often, the “defender” can be a strong obstacle to setting up big plays that are not too powerful computers when, due to the scanning process of installed files, the installation may take an indefinitely long time. So in this case you will simply have to disable the antivirus. In this situation, you simply cannot do without such a forced measure.
Simple ways to disconnect
So how to disable the antivirus without resorting to changing the registry and other complex “tricks”? This is possible using standard means Windows OS. Click on the well-known “Start” button, find the “Control Panel” menu item there, where there is a line “Administration”. Here you are only interested in the “System Configuration” section.
The procedure for shutting down via startup
It should be noted that you can do it much simpler. On the keyboard, you need to simultaneously press the “Alt” and “R” keys (you don’t have to look at the layout), and in the field that appears for typing commands, type “MSConfig”. In both cases, a dialog box will appear, which for our purposes requires the capabilities of two tabs: “Services” and “Startup”. After this, you need to uncheck the boxes next to the name of the antivirus program installed on your system. The system will prompt you to save the changes and reboot, after which the “watchman” will not work. But inexperienced users who are interested in the question of how to disable an antivirus will probably find all these manipulations quite complicated. Well, you can understand them.
Using the capabilities of the resident protection module
It is much faster to use the standard protection capabilities of your program, the settings of which can be found in the system tray. In most cases, you can click on this icon with the right mouse button, and then in the opened window context menu select an item similar to “temporarily disable protection”. If there is nothing similar there, you will have to go into the system settings and look for the appropriate options already there.
Some nuances
Note! If you are thinking about how to disable your antivirus to run a “crack” or cheat on someone, be prepared for unpleasant consequences. Despite the eloquent assurances of their creators that they “do not pose a danger to your system,” most often this is far from the case. The desire to get a program or game “for free” most often results in the need to radically clean your computer of viruses. Even the most effective antivirus completely defenseless against malware when disabled. In a word, do not be fooled by loud promises, monitor the state of the system without clogging it junk files. Then you definitely won’t need to disable your antivirus.
Since you are here, it means you want to know how to disable the antivirus in Windows 7 or XP, temporarily, temporarily or completely.
Why is it not easy to do this, however, since they are different, and it could be avast (Avast), avg, Kaspersky, microsoft security essentials (Microsoft), dr web (Doctor Web), eset nod32 (nod), mcafee, web, avira , norton (Norton), comodo or panda, then the methods are not the same.
In this article (others in the “all articles” menu) I will describe only one universal method how to disable absolutely any antivirus - quickly and efficiently, but at the beginning there are a few useful points.
Manufacturers deliberately make it impossible to disable the antivirus. There are good reasons for this.
Otherwise, viruses will be able to disable them, but they cannot do this, therefore, the protection becomes more effective.
So, to disable any antivirus, go to, after that, look for the “administration” option and click on it.
If you can't find it, look at right side top: it says "view", select "large icons"
I hope the administration has been found. After clicking on it, click on “system configuration”. Another window will open where the antivirus will be disabled.
You will be prompted to reboot, after which it will no longer work.
- I would like to note that all antiviruses can be disabled in another way, especially for NOD, Kaspersky and Avast. . I think they've outdone themselves in the "unplug" department.
Why you may need to disable your antivirus. There are several reasons. Manufacturers often set bans on visiting completely “clean” sites.
They just don't want you to go there because the keys to their "creations" are there and they want you to buy them.
There are also “programs” that are not viruses (kaygens, activators...). To run them, you cannot do without disabling anti-virus systems.
Also, for example, it loads the system, and if the computer needs more performance, then sometimes it is advisable to disable the antivirus.
Of course, there can be many more reasons than described above, these are just the most popular ones. As I wrote above, the described method is not the only one and sometimes it is better to disable the protection directly in the settings of your “defender”.

Pay attention, our dear and beloved readers! After users begin to resort to measures such as disabling the antivirus. They most often have to call a technician to their home or give the computer to specialists to treat the computer.
Since there are enough viruses on the Internet, and disabling the antivirus can lead to infection of the computer, in order to prevent this from happening, it is best not to disable the antivirus, because in fact, it is not recommended to disable the antivirus at all.
Dear friends, remember that even the most effective or most expensive antivirus will not help protect your computer system if you turn it off often.
But from time to time you will wonder how to disable Avast antivirus for a while (or one of its components).
This usually becomes necessary when installing certain programs or if Avast blocks your favorite website or application. (or maybe you just downloaded a toy from a torrent and Avast won’t let you install it? - stop putting up with it!!!)
ADVICE! If you want to disable Avast just because it blocks your favorite program, then in this situation I recommend using the list of trusted applications (add to the list of exceptions)
I decided that for the impatient it would be correct to describe in a nutshell the process of disabling protection from Avast and below I will describe in detail each of the options. This algorithm is applicable to all Avast antivirus products ( Free Antivirus, Internet Security and so on)
Step 1. Right-click on the orange Avast icon in your system Windows tray(next to the clock)
Step 2. Select "Manage Avast Screens" and select the time for which you want to disable the antivirus
Step 3. Confirm the action by clicking "YES" in the pop-up window
If brief instructions didn’t answer the question of how to disable Avast while installing the program, then move on to the detailed note with detailed screenshots (everything we like)
How to temporarily disable Avast antivirus
Disabling all protection screens means you will completely disable Avast's active protection. Therefore, make sure that you understand what this is for and understand the consequences (if you are asked to disable the protection, then I would think about it)
Step 1. Find in the panel Windows tasks orange Avast antivirus icon (In some Windows versions it may be hidden, click the arrow if you don’t see it). Right-click and select “Manage Avast Screens” from the menu required parameter (if you select “Disable forever”, then Avast will not work until you force it to start)
Step 2. It doesn't matter which option you choose, Avast will ask you to confirm (like User Account Control in Windows) where you need to agree by clicking the “YES” button - all antivirus components will be disabled for the period of time that you selected.
Step 3. We need to make sure that we have disabled AVAST antivirus. To do this, go to the program menu and in the “Status” category you will see the message “All antivirus screens are turned off.”
Don’t forget to turn the antivirus back on later by simply clicking on the green “Solve the problem” button in the program status.
How to disable Avast components temporarily through the menu
Fortunately, there is no need to disable all components of the Avast antivirus; you can permanently or temporarily disable a specific part of the antivirus. Again, make sure your actions are correct and necessary!
Step 1. If you really need to disable Avast while installing the program, then open the antivirus interface (that orange icon next to the clock) and go to the “Protection” section, “Main protection components”.
IN this menu You can disable the main protection components (File Protection, Behavior Analysis, Web Protection or Mail Protection) from the list. Typically installed harmful The program is hindered by “File Protection” and does not allow you to access your favorite website with cats “Web Protection”.
Just click on the switch next to the required component. Next, Avast will offer you four options to choose from with the time for which you need to suspend the protection component.
Step 2. If you did everything correctly, the switch will move to the “Off” position and will be highlighted in red.
Similarly, in the status, Avast will signal to us that the system is in danger and it is necessary to enable the antivirus component. After installing the program, you should admit that the antivirus recommendations are really necessary and do not forget to enable all protection components (just click on the big green “Enable” button)
As you can see, there is nothing difficult to disable Avast for a while. However, do not forget that by disabling any of the antivirus components you are putting your computer at risk.
How to disable Avast service
If the antivirus imagines itself to be in charge and does not allow itself to be disabled using the built-in means, then you can stop the service by force operating system. Open Task Manager and go to the Services tab. Find in the list avast! Antivirus, right-click on it and select “Stop” in the menu that opens.
The exact same confirmation window will appear as in the first option. We just agree and, most importantly, do not forget to turn the antivirus back on after you have completed all the necessary actions that the antivirus interfered with.

If none of the options helped you disable the antivirus, you can go to extreme measures, namely, remove it from your computer. No antivirus - no problem.
