By Dan Gookin. Sometimes an installation program requests that you disable your antivirus software. The reason is that the antivirus software has difficultly determining whether the program you’re installing is a legitimate program or perhaps a virus taking roost in your PC’s storage system. Sophos Antivirus provides a way to disable the program temporarily or permanently. In most cases, you should only permanently disable your anti-virus protection if you plan to install a different product to protect your computer. When possible, disconnect from the Internet while you disable your protection to keep your computer safe from online. ![]() Welcome to BleepingComputer, a free community where people like yourself come together to discuss and learn how to use their computers.
