Sometimes it becomes necessary to disable the installed one, that is, there are reasons. For example, an antivirus can block the installation of any program that it considers dangerous, block access to a website or automatically delete, in its opinion, infected files.
Then the user has no choice but to temporarily suspend protection. And in this article I will talk about how to disable Doctor Web while installing games, programs, or to go to a blocked site.
Before starting, I want to note that I will analyze all the methods using Windows 7 as an example. But even if you have Windows 10 installed, there will be no differences. Changes can only be in the interface and this is related to the version of the installed defender. At the time of writing, I was running “Security Space 11.50”. Therefore, take this point into account.
Adding to exceptions
In order not to leave your computer unprotected, first of all I recommend trying an alternative method - adding the application, website or folder contents that you are installing or launching to the antivirus exclusion directory.

So let's deactivate it. For this:
Close the settings window and check the result.
Advanced method
The methods discussed above are standard and can only temporarily disable Doctor Web antivirus protection. And under certain circumstances, say when installing another defender, they are not enough.
Therefore, now we will look at a more advanced way to deactivate the defender by disabling running services.

Installation of all sorts of “cracks”, “keygens”, etc.;
