To turn off antivirus software, you will need to access the settings for the program on your computer. The exact steps for doing this may vary depending on the specific antivirus program you are using, but in general, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Open the antivirus program on your computer. This can typically be done by clicking on the program’s icon in the Windows Start menu or by searching for it in the search bar.
2. Once the program is open, look for a settings or options menu. This may be located in the main menu of the antivirus program or in a separate tab or section.
3. In the settings or options menu, look for an option to disable or turn off the antivirus protection. This option may be labelled differently depending on the program, but it may be called «disable» or «turn off» or something similar.
4. Once you have located the option to disable the antivirus protection, click on it to turn off the protection. You may be prompted to confirm your choice or to enter a password before the protection is disabled.
5. After you have turned off the antivirus protection, you should close the antivirus program and any other programs that are running on your computer. This will ensure that the protection remains off and that other programs do not interfere with the disabling process.

It is important to keep in mind that disabling antivirus protection can leave your computer vulnerable to malware infections and other threats. It is recommended to only turn off the protection temporarily, and to turn it back on as soon as possible. You should also consider using other security measures, such as a firewall, to protect your computer while the antivirus protection is disabled.
