How do I turn off Avast Antivirus on my computer?

To turn off Avast Antivirus on a computer, one needs to locate the Avast icon in the system tray, which is usually found at the bottom-right corner of the screen. Right-clicking on the Avast icon will reveal a menu where they should navigate to "Avast shields control." From there, they can choose how long they want to disable the protection for, with options ranging from temporarily disabling it for a few minutes to indefinitely until manual reactivation. Once they select the preferred duration, Avast will ask for confirmation, and upon agreeing, its real-time shields will be turned off for the specified period. Remember to turn Avast back on as soon as possible to ensure the system remains protected against malware and other threats.
