Stop real-time virus protection
Although rare, there may be times when you want to temporarily
stop real-time scanning (for example, to change some scanning
options or troubleshoot a performance issue). When real-time
virus protection is disabled, your computer is not protected and
your SecurityCenter protection status is red. For more
information about protection status, see "Understanding
protection status" in the SecurityCenter help.
You can turn off real-time virus protection temporarily, and then
specify when it resumes. You can automatically resume
protection after 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes, when your computer
restarts, or never.
