Anti-virus disable for printer install

[Guest]

The first step of install instructions with my new
printer is to temporarily disable anti-virus software.
How do I do this?

Right click on the antivirus's icon in the Systray and select Close, Snooze,
Close or whatever appropriate option is available to you.

Start/run/msconfig, click the startup tab and then uncheck the box(es) for the antivirus software, click Apply then reboot.

Just make sure to re-enable it when you are done

There should be an easier way to just disable it by clicking on the the
icon and look for Disable, Close, etc.

Just remember to turn it ON again, afterwards! Running without antivirus is
a VERY dangerous thing to do these days.
