Disabling Immunet Temporarely

[Papataci]

Is there a setting to temporarely disabling Immunet to do some testing. Most software have an option to do so on their taskbar icon.

Thanks

Hi Papataci, this subject has been brought up before in the Ideas section, to make it easier to temporarly disable Immunet for installiation or testing purposes. http://forum.immunet.com/index.php?/topic/2407-an-easier-way-to-turn-off-realtime-protection/ Development is looking into this. For now though I think the easiest way to completely disable Immunet would be to right click on the Immunet System Tray icon and select Hide Tray Icon from the little popup menu. Then use the CMD command: net stop immunetprotect

This will kill both iptray.exe & agent.exe

 

To relaunch Immunet without rebooting use the CMD command: net start immunetprotect

Then relaunch the GUI by the Desktop or All Programs Immunet Icon.

 

If a user just wants to make known legitimate software install a little quicker all you really need do is temporarly disable Monitor Program Install & Blocking Mode in Settings. Just don't forget to turn these settings back on afterwards.

couldn't you just disable ethos, sphero, and clam av and scan files and monitor install. wouldn't that temporarily disable the realtime protection.

That is correct Zurchiboy. You can go into Settings and disable "everything" but Immunet's processes are still running then. If you want to completely disable Immunet then the method I suggested is about the quickest.
