For various reasons, you might need to temporarily disable Kaspersky Antivirus on your device. Here’s a straightforward guide to help you achieve this safely.
Start by opening the Kaspersky Antivirus application on your computer. Click on the gear icon located in the lower left corner to access the settings menu.
Once in the settings menu, look for the “Protection” section on the left-hand side. Click on it to view various protection components.
Within the “Protection” section, you will see a list of different protection components such as “File Anti-Virus,” “Web Anti-Virus,” etc. Toggle off each of these components to disable them. Confirm any prompts that appear.
Check the main screen of the Kaspersky Antivirus application to make sure that the status shows the protection is off. You might see a warning or alert indicating that your system is not protected, which means the antivirus has been successfully disabled.
To re-enable Kaspersky Antivirus, simply follow the same steps and toggle on each protection component. Your system will then be secured again.
Disabling your antivirus software leaves your device vulnerable to threats. Make sure to only disable it for short periods and only when necessary.
Knowing how to disable Kaspersky Antivirus can be useful for troubleshooting or performing tasks that require it. Always remember to re-enable your protection to keep your device safe.
