I need to disable all my antivirus software to do some repairs on my Windows 11 laptop? How can I do this temporarily?
Turning off Norton protection leaves your computer vulnerable to attacks. If you want to turn it off for troubleshooting a problem, make sure that you turn it on again.

Easiest way is to right click you Norton icon in the System Tray & click on 'Disable Auto Protect' & 'Disable Smart Firewall' in turn. Each should allow you to disable for the default 15 minutes, or, 'More Options' will allow you to select various other timings or to switch off permanently. If the latter, remember to switch back on. I've done this in the past a long while ago, from memory, Norton will advise on next boot that they are off & do you want them switched back on.
