How to Disable AVG Antivirus from Windows and Mac?

AVG can provide complete security to your system from virus, spyware, malware and other malicious contents. But at times it starts blocking genuine sites, applications and network traffic. This situation becomes really frustrating for some. In this case, the user is left with two options, either they completely uninstall their program from their device or disable it for some time. Uninstalling is not a good idea as by that way you will lose the security of device permanently, thus it would be better to disable it till the time your task get finished. Here we are going to discuss the steps for disabling the program, but in case you want to uninstall it then you can call at AVG customer care number UK for guidance.

Steps To Disable AVG on Windows Device

• Double-click your AVG icon from system tray to open it.
• Then go to the Options menu which is located in the upper right corner of the AVG window.
• Now select Advanced Settings which will open a new window for additional settings.
• Click “Temporarily disable AVG protection” option which you can find in the left pane of Advanced settings.
• After that, click “Temporarily disable AVG protection” button.
• Now you will be asked to select the duration for how long you want to disable the program. (It can be 5, 10, 15 minutes or you can even disable it until you restart your system again)
• To turn off Firewall as well, put a check on “Disable Firewall Protection”.
• Now finally, click Ok to save the changes.

But be sure that you disable it for a limited time as otherwise, your system will stay unprotected.

Steps To Disable AVG on Mac Device
