About turning off automatic features
If you have not changed the default option settings,
Auto-Protect loads when you start your computer.
Auto-Protect also guards against viruses, Trojan horses,
worms, and other malicious threats. It checks programs
for viruses when programs run and monitors your
computer. It also checks the removable media for any
activity that might indicate the presence of a virus.
When Auto-Protect detects a virus or virus-like activity,
it alerts you.
In some cases, Auto-Protect might warn you about a
virus-like activity that you know are not the work of a
virus. If you perform such an activity and want to avoid
the warning, you can turn off Auto-Protect.
If you have set a password for settings, Norton
AntiVirus asks you for the password before you can
view or change the settings.
When you turn off Auto-Protect, SONAR Protection
and Download Intelligence are also turned off.
To turn off Auto-Protect temporarily
1 In the Norton AntiVirus main window, click
Settings.
2 In the Settings window, in the left pane, click Real
Time Protection.
3 In the Auto-Protect row, move the On/Off switch
