I tried to install a certain application and it failed to install. The application requires I disable any virus checker before installing it. I'm running Norton Internet Security. How do I temporarily disable it? I've asked Norton twice, but they respond they are overwhelmed with messages.

How do I temporarily disable Norton Internet Security?

Services? I don't see that option.
I see: Run live update; Scan now; View History; Options (nothing there that applies to my question); Subscription.
Then under the Norton Internet Security tab I see: Tasks & Scans; Settings; and Reports & Statistics.
Under none of those do I find an obvious way to temporarily turn off Norton Internet Security.
Several versions back all it took was a click on Norton on the tool bar, then a click on Disable. I find nothing like that now. Norton Help is no help.

IFRpilot, I think lb63640 is referring to SERVICES.MSC that you would "run" from the Start Menu. Find the services that start with "Symantec" or "Norton", and if they are started, choose "Stop the service".
You could also do this from the Processes tab in Windows Task Manager, except you would have to know the file name, like "Rtvscan.exe". Either of these locations will allow you to temporarily stop Norton Internet Security.
