How do you disable AVG antivirus?

good god, don't! unless you want a virus...

There should be an option in the Options of the program to disable it.

There isn't really any set way to disable it. Since closing down the Control center leaves other parts of AVG running in the background. There is no way to shut down these backround services other than to terminate them in windows task manager (and if AVG is good it will relaunch itself without you knowing). The only way to really stop it would be to uninstall it. J

That is a funny question, but Iremember Norton AV asking me to Close any AV Software when I was getting an Update from Nortons! How ridiculous. Right Click and should be a Control Panel/Settings thing. The IE7 update has to have that off because it has phone home program written into it, its not a bad program, just the company wants to know where you go on the net and how long you stay. When disabling AV for a download, best process that I know of is to start it back up and scan the download before you install it. It is also suggested to reboot after any install and do a full Virus Scan of the system. UNIX/Linux servers that all the time.

Just right click on avg icon in your task bar and click on quit avg....I don't recomend doing this unless it is a download from windows and they tell you to do so. too many viruses can be caught while you are unprotected.

why would you want to ?
