Disable Microsoft Essentials anti virus?
« on: January 10, 2012, 07:00:00 PM »
Hi there,

I need to disable the above because a driver I am trying to install want me to. How do I do that? I can't find a disable button anywhere.

Going on memory:

Right click, click "open".  Click the setting tab.  You can disable on access scanning in there.  Don't forget to turn in back on.

open MS Security essentials from the task bar or from your programs

click settings tab

unclick realtime protection, should be on top of the list

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Sorry.  The Security Essentials icon in the system tray area.
