With more cyber threats, it is expected that the application like Norton would have more stringent measure for virus scanning. Although, this does not always pan out in the way that it should be. As a result, false positives, unfair software deletions, installation interference, and legitimate file removal are a common place. Therefore, in some incessant cases of such types, it becomes necessary for the user to have some levity so that the user at least can use their systems.
Norton Support Australia presents to you the method to temporarily stop the antivirus scanning
There are two ways to deal with this problem; one consists of explicitly deleting the antivirus software (which might cause more problems for you) and the other consists of a temporary shutdown of the scanning protocol. From the security standpoint, both the former and the latter are not suitable. But if you have to go through the process, we prefer the latter. To that end, perform the following steps in order to temporarily stop the Norton scanning module.
- First, click on the triangular icon on the windows toolbar (in the notification area actually) and right click it. From the drop down menu, select “Open Norton Security Centre” to open the Norton security window.
Once you have opened the window, click on the “Disable Smart Firewall” to shut down the firewall for a temporary period of time. For that, you will also have to select the time period in which you do not want any protection from the firewall. Once you select the duration, activate the firewall disable module by clicking on the “OK” button. (P.S: make sure that you use this feature to access the legitimate sites only. If the sites turn out to fraudulent, you yourself are responsible for the consequences)
- Now, click on “Disable the Antivirus’ button. This will temporarily disable the antivirus protection. Just like with the firewall, you will be prompted to enter the duration, but unlike firewall, you can choose to stop it at all times (it is not recommended however). (S: never choose to disable the protection at all times, it will cause more problems for you than before)
In any case, if you have any sort of problem while performing the above steps, you can call upon us via the toll-free Norton support Australia (1800-921-376). Our experts will assist you in any way you deem necessary in addition to giving you tips to keep yourself secure while online and offline.
