Способ 1: Временное отключение
Наиболее простой метод деактивации основных модулей защиты антивируса Norton Security на компьютере с Windows 10 сводится к использованию специального меню с ограниченным количеством параметров. Данный вариант лучше всего подходит для временной деактивации программы, тогда как полное отключение следует выполнять через внутренние настройки или удаление.
- Чтобы выполнить поставленную задачу, в области уведомлений на панели задач найдите значок «Norton Security» и кликните правой кнопкой мыши. Данная иконка вполне может отсутствовать среди видимых значков, но будет присутствовать в общем списке софта, свернутого в трей.
- В зависимости от требований к результату, в контекстном меню воспользуйтесь опцией «Выключить интеллектуальный брандмауэр», чтобы отключить защиту в интернете, или «Выключить автоматическую защиту» для деактивации защиты файловой системы. Помимо этого, можно «Включить режим без сообщений», позволяющий принудительно блокировать системные уведомления от программы.
- Последующие действия не отличаются во всех трех случаях — из выпадающего списка необходимо просто выбрать период деактивации выбранной службы и воспользоваться кнопкой «ОК» для сохранения обновленных параметров. Как правило, автоматическое восстановление работоспособности обеспечивается во всех вариантах, кроме «До перезагрузки системы» и «Постоянно».
Обновленные параметры будут применены сразу после нажатия указанной кнопки и отмечены в соответствующем оповещении. Задействовать каждый из модулей в будущем можно вручную через аналогичное меню, воспользовавшись параметрами в рамках основного окна антивируса или дождавшись выполнения условия, будь то таймер или перезагрузка компьютера.
Способ 2: Изменение настроек
Отключить Нортон на постоянной основе, в том числе выборочно избавившись от модулей, которые, например, создают дополнительную нагрузку или просто не используются, можно через встроенные параметры программы. Сразу стоит отметить, что мы не будем подробно рассматривать каждый отдельный элемент, а сделаем акцент лишь на ключевых параметрах. При желании можете внести дополнительные изменения самостоятельно.
- Как и в предыдущем варианте, найдите значок антивируса на панели задач Windows 10, кликните правой кнопкой мыши и во всплывающем окне выберите «Открыть Norton 360». В качестве альтернативы можете просто дважды кликнуть ЛКМ по иконке.
- Находясь в основном окне Norton Security, на нижней панели найдите и разверните вкладку «Безопасность». Здесь следует воспользоваться кнопкой «Дополнительно», как правило, расположенной в самом конце представленного списка.
- Во всплывающем окне можно достаточно быстро отключить любой основной модуль программы, будь то «Автоматическая защита», «Интеллектуальный брандмауэр», «Защита веб-браузера» и «Контроль загрузок» или «Защита SONAR». Изменение практически каждого параметра будет сопровождаться обязательным подтверждением, по аналогии с предыдущим вариантом.
- Если вас не устраивает доступное в данном окне количество настроек, можете вернуться на главную страницу антивируса и на верхней панели воспользоваться кнопкой «Параметры». Именно здесь доступны все возможные настройки, в том числе не связанные с защитой.
- Первым делом обратите внимание на правую колонку, где можно просто установкой галочки задействовать «Режим без вывода сообщений» или, наоборот, снятием деактивировать «Интеллектуальный брандмауэр». Для перехода к более конкретным настройкам используйте основные пункты меню, отмеченные на скриншоте.
На странице «Защита от вирусов» можно управлять основным модулем защиты файловой системы, а также некоторыми вспомогательными службами. Для быстрого отключения используйте ползунок «Автоматическая защита» и «Защита во время загрузки».
- Соседние вкладки практически не связаны с автоматической системой защиты, однако могут работать при определенных условиях. Так, например, рекомендуем уделить внимание «Сканированию и угрозам» и в частности «Эвристической защите».
- Раздел «Брандмауэр», в свою очередь, содержит параметры, напрямую связанные с защитой интернета. Здесь внутри категории «Общие параметры» можно деактивировать связанные модули, будь то «Интеллектуальный брандмауэр» или «Безопасность сетей Wi-Fi», а также отключить отдельные службы вроде фильтра исключений для адресов.
- Последний раздел внутренних настроек содержит меньше всего параметров, так как отвечает за фильтрацию электронной почты от спама. Как нетрудно догадаться, данный модуль в целом не будет работать, если на компьютере не настроен локальный почтовый клиент.
Чтобы завершить изменение настроек, используйте кнопку «Применить» на нижней панели в рамках рассматриваемого окна. Отключение любого модуля выполняется моментально и не требует перезагрузки системы.
Способ 3: Очистка автозапуска
Кроме деактивации рассматриваемого антивируса встроенными средствами, в качестве альтернативы можно воспользоваться настройками автозапуска, чтобы предотвратить автоматическое включение основных модулей при запуске Windows 10. При этом, в отличие от большинства аналогичных программ, Norton Security придется исключать из автозагрузки исключительно сторонними средствами.

- В качестве программы для удаления антивируса из автозагрузки нами будет использоваться Wise Care 365, который можно скачать бесплатно с официального сайта разработчика. Подробно останавливаться на установке мы не будем, но отметим, что запускать данную программу лучше всего «От имени администратора» через контекстное меню.
Скачать Wise Care 365 с официального сайта
- Разобравшись с установкой и запуском, при помощи главного меню в верхней части рабочего окна программы перейдите на вкладку «Оптимизация». Здесь в первую очередь следует выбрать категорию «Автозапуск» и переключиться на список «Службы».
- Из общего списка служб найдите и деактивируйте с помощью ползунка «Norton WSC Service», как правило, представленный двумя разными службами. Если в процессе возникают ошибки, скорее всего программа была запущена без прав администратора.
- В качестве альтернативы или дополнительного решения можете перейти на вкладку «Ускорение», найти «Norton WSC Service» и задействовать для быстрой деактивации. Перед нажатием кнопки «Оптимизация» обязательно убедитесь, что другие службы не были затронуты программой во избежание ошибок.
Оптимизация выполняется моментально, но изменения будут заметны только при повторном включении компьютера. Учитывайте, что даже с учетом сторонних и достаточно эффективных средств гарантировать стабильное исключение антивируса из автозагрузки невозможно из-за достаточно сильной интеграции в операционную систему.
Способ 4: Полное удаление
Последний и наиболее радикальный метод отключения Norton Security на компьютере под управлением Windows 10 заключается в полном удалении данной программы. Выполнить это можно несколькими способами: воспользовавшись официальной утилитой, которую придется скачать с веб-сайта разработчика, или штатными средствами операционной системы.

Какой бы из способов, рассмотренных в другой инструкции по ссылке выше, вы ни выбрали, по завершении необходимо перезагрузить компьютер для применения изменений. Не стоит также забывать про отключение всех модулей защиты, и, чтобы компьютер не оставался под угрозой, желательно задействовать другой антивирус или хотя бы стандартный «Защитник Windows».

Любой современный ПК должен иметь антивирусную программу для защиты от вирусов, шпионских атак и прочих угроз. Если вы часто пользуетесь интернетом, загружаете документы, осуществляете онлайн платежи, то обязаны купить антивирус на компьютер. Сегодня доступно множество программных продуктов данной категории. Например, очень популярен Norton Internet Security. Он обладает всеми актуальными модулями защиты, позволяет сканировать жесткие диски, работать со всеми существующими цифровыми угрозами и пр. Иными словами, полезная программа. И если вы планируете ею пользоваться, то должны знать, как отключить Нортон Антивирус на Виндовс 10 на время. Или даже полностью удалить его.
Для чего нужно отключать Norton
У многих пользователей наверняка возникнет вопрос касательно целесообразности данного шага. Ведь важно, чтобы антивирусная защита работала на постоянной основе. Однако все же иногда возникает необходимость отключить. Вот несколько актуальных причин:
- Необходимость снизить нагрузку на ПК, чтобы запустить другие более требовательные программы;
- Отключение блокировки и внутренних модулей защиты для посещения сторонних сайтов;
- Отключение защиты для запуска программ, которые не имеют сертификаты безопасности. При этом они безвредны. К примеру, это могут быть самописные программы;
- Необходимость запустить антивирус другой фирмы, чтобы он не конфликтовал с Norton.
Как отключить антивирус Нортон
Чтобы временно деактивировать программу, вам нужно выполнить следующие шаги:
- Нажмите правой клавишей по иконке в трее;
- Выберите пункт «Отключить автоматическую защиту»;
- Выберите время отключения.
Если указать определенные минуты, то по истечении временного периода антивирус автоматически включится. Если выбрать вариант до перезагрузки, то программа активируется после перезагрузки ПК. Но это все опять же временное отключение. Даже если вы деактивируете Нортон Аккаунт, то все равно не обеспечить полную деактивацию.
Другой вариант – это отключение отдельных модулей. Для этого вам нужно перейти в настройки, которые доступны в основном меню антивируса. В новом окне перейдите в раздел «Защита в реальном времени» и переместите нужные ползунки в положение «Выкл». Затем примените внесенные изменения. Антивирус продолжит работать, но часть модулей будет деактивирована.
Удаление Нортон
Если вам не подходит такой вариант, то единственный способ полностью отключить программу – это деинсталляция. Поэтому нужно понять, как удалить Norton. Тут возможно несколько способов: через встроенное меню Windows, через сторонние программы или через утилиту от Norton.
В первом случае вам нужно сделать следующее:
- Откройте меню «Пуск»;
- Перейдите в раздел «Параметры»;
- Откройте «Приложения»;
- Найдите в правом списке программу Norton Security;
- Выделите ее;
- Нажмите «Удалить»;
- В новом окне программы выберите способ деинсталляции (с сохранением или удалением параметров);
- Перезагрузите ПК.
Этот способ в ряде случаев может не сработать, так как в системе останутся файлы программы. Поэтому есть сторонние программы для решения проблемы, например, CCleaner. Она позволяет не только деинсталлировать антивирус, но и удалить остаточные файлы и записи в реестре.
Еще один вариант, как удалить Нортон Секьюрити с компьютера Виндовс 10 – это и использовать утилиту от самих разработчиков Norton Remove. Ее необходимо скачать с официального сайта, запустить и следовать инструкциям. Через утилиту можно как просто удалить программу, так и удалить, а затем загрузить и установить свежую версию.
