How to temporarily disable Webroot antivirus?

That is why we are making our article today, in which we will tell you how to temporarily disable this antivirus. www.webroot.com/secure

Why Webroot prohibits access to sites and installation of programs?

To do this, you install an antivirus, because each of them is based on such a function as blocking suspicious sites and applications. And these are almost all pirated games and programs, as well as little-known sites that offer you to install any scripts or require you to perform other, suspicious actions.

However, there are situations when you need to get to some site that you completely trust, or install some program or game, also from a trusted source, but Webroot will block them. In this case, you will need to temporarily stop the Webroot Guard, which is constantly checking files for viruses.

How to turn off Webroot temporarily?

So, as we said earlier, you will need to disable the Webroot Antivirus. To do this, you will need to configure the antivirus settings in its menu.

Initially, you will need to click on the icon that displays the hidden icons. This icon is represented by a small upward arrow, next to the Internet icon, in the lower right corner, on the start bar.

You will see a small table with a list of programs. You will also need an icon with a Webroot, which will lead you to the desired menu items.

As soon as you click on the Webroot, an antivirus window will pop up.

Initially, pay attention to the lock, which will be located in the lower left corner of the plate. This is something like protection against accidental clicks and changes, as well as in case some software tries to hack the antivirus itself. You will need to click on this lock to allow yourself to carry out further work with the program, to make changes to its work.

As soon as you give yourself access, a gear will appear in the right corner of the plate, which will lead you to further settings. Click on her. webroot.com/secure

You will see a large program settings window. Here you will need to select "main".

In this section, you will have to select a sub-item called "self-defence".

On the white part of the plate, you will see several checkmarks. Do not change anything, just move the checkmark to the left on the “enable self-defence” item.

After that, you will see a yellow exclamation mark on top of the antivirus Webroot icon in the hidden icons panel. This means that it is currently disabled.

Now you can safely work with a site or program that Webroot did not allow you to access before. Well, to enable the antivirus, you will need to carry out all the steps listed in the article, only in reverse order. Don't forget to lock your antivirus.
