Q:
I was installing a program and it told me disable my anti-virus software. How do I do that?
A:
On the right side of your taskbar is your system tray . In it you can see the programs that are currently running.
Move your cursor over an icon and you should get a little text line telling you what the program is.
Right mouse click your anti-virus icon and you will be given the option to disable.
A red X should appear over the icon in the system tray.
When you are done installing the software, just right click your anti-virus icon again and choose “enable“.
BONUS TIP: You can also use this procedure to disable or shut down any programs running in your system tray. This comes in handy especially when you need extra memory to burn a CD or DVD.
