  Disable AVG Antivirus:

E-mail is the most common way in which computer viruses are spread, so you should typically have automatic e-mail scanning enabled.  E-mail scanning applies to programs such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape, Eudora, Pegasus, etc.  E-mail attachments, html files, etc. will be scanned automatically.  If you are having problems with an e-mail program, turn off AVG Antivirus to ensure AVG Antivirus is not the culprit.

Note:  Disabling the AVG Control Center will disable not only the automatic e-mail scanning but all of AVG's protection.  To disable just the e-mail protection, click here.

Disabling AVG Antivirus is quite simple.  Do the following:

In the bottom, right-hand corner of your Desktop is the System Tray and, within it, the AVG Antivirus icon.

Right click the AVG Antivirus icon and select Quit AVG Control Center from the menu.

 

The following prompt should appear:

Click the Yes button to shut down the Control Center.

AVG Antivirus is now disabled.

 

  Re-enable AVG Antivirus:

Enabling AVG Antivirus is just as simple.  Do the following:

On your Desktop, click the Start button and select All Programs -> AVG Free Edition -> AVG Free Control Center from the menus.

AVG Antivirus is now enabled and will appear in your System Tray.
