To turn off active protection, you typically need to access the security software's settings. According to the provided reference, there are two main methods to achieve this, either partially by switching off components or more completely via the installer's modify option.
Methods for Disabling Active Protection
The reference outlines specific steps to disable different components of advanced anti-malware protection. These methods allow you to either temporarily adjust settings within the application or make more permanent changes by modifying the installed features.
Method 1: Via the Protection Screen Settings
This method allows you to switch off specific components of the active protection directly within the application's interface.
- Navigate to the Protection screen within your security software.
- Click on Settings.
- Within the settings, you should find options to toggle different protection components on or off. Switch off the different components of advanced anti-malware protection as needed.
Note: The exact options available on the Settings screen may vary depending on your specific security software.
Method 2: Using the Installer's Modify Option
For a potentially more complete disabling or removal of specific protection features, you can use the software's installer.
- Locate and run the installer file for your security software.
- Instead of installing or uninstalling, look for and click the "modify" button.
- The installer should present a list of installed components. Clear the check boxes with the components you want to disable.
- Proceed with the modification process and wait for the changes to occur.
Both methods allow you to manage which aspects of the active protection are running on your system. Method 1 is generally for quick adjustments, while Method 2 is for changing the installed configuration.
