In certain situations, it becomes necessary to disable Kaspersky. Let's say, if you need to open a certain page, but the program identifies it as potentially dangerous or malicious. Also, many people know that antiviruses quarantine all kinds of cracks and programs for hacking software licenses. In this case, there is no other option but to disable Kaspersky self-defense while working with such utilities.
Before disabling Kaspersky, please note that after this the antivirus becomes inactive, that is, your system is completely unprotected against all kinds of malware and viruses. Thus, you expose yourself to potential danger.
You will need:
In order to disable Kaspersky version 2010, you will need to open the main antivirus window (you can do this by double-clicking on the program shortcut on the taskbar, using the shortcut on the desktop, or by finding Kaspersky Anti-Virus among installed programs in the Start menu).
After that, in the upper right window we look for the “Settings” button. A settings window will appear in front of you, in the left working area of which the “Settings” section will be available. We go into it and uncheck the box next to the line “Enable self-defense”. Confirm the changes by clicking the “OK” button and close the settings menu. It's easier than using Kaspersky Rescue Disk.
In the case of the 2011 version, the procedure will be similar. Just like in the previous case, open the settings window (it is located in the same place). After that, go to the “Self-Defense” tab. We look at the window, which is located on the right side: there we look for the “Enable self-defense” option.
In order to disable Kaspersky 2011, uncheck the box next to this item and save the changes using the “OK” button. After completion, be sure to enable self-defense. If necessary, activate the program or extend the trial version of Kaspersky.
Cautions
As we have already said, by disabling the antivirus self-defense, you will not be able to scan your computer for viruses and expose it to potential danger. So only do this if absolutely necessary, and only if you are one hundred percent sure that the link you want to follow is completely safe; and the program you are about to run or install will not harm your operating system.
Remember that preventing the penetration of malicious software is much easier than later dealing with the consequences of their activity.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus has a multi-stage system for protecting the OS and personal data from viruses and other malware, and therefore is the most important part of a computer’s security system. Even temporarily disabling it is undesirable, since a virus can infect Windows instantly when you least expect it. But in some cases it is impossible to do without disabling the antivirus, since its too aggressive protection can block the launch and normal operation of some programs and sites.
The easiest and fastest way to disable Kaspersky is to disable it through the taskbar. Open the taskbar and right-click on the antivirus icon. Select "Exit" and confirm the action. The program will be unloaded from the system. However, the above example is not the best solution, since you will then have to run the antivirus again. If you forget to do this, you will leave your computer defenseless. A more logical solution would be to temporarily suspend Kaspersky for a specified period of time. To do this, right-click on the Kaspersky icon in the taskbar and select “Pause protection”.Disable your antivirus only when it is really necessary and there are no other options. If you forget to turn it on, you risk infecting your computer with malware and then taking a long time to get rid of it. Use exceptions for conflicting applications instead of disabling Kaspersky to avoid compromising the security of your OS and personal data.
When using Kaspersky antivirus, situations may arise when protection needs to be temporarily disabled. For example, you need to upload a file, download a program with a crack, or visit a site whose content is blocked by the defender.
