How do I disable NOD32?

[Hoges in WA]

I need to disable my VP temporarily to do a thorough ScanDisk for Microsoft. I'd like to avoid uninstalling and reinstalling if possible. ScanDisk doesn't like VP being present and keeps restarting. Can I disable it for the period of the scan and then enable it again. I can't work out how to do it.

Just run Scandisk in Safe Mode, saves lots of hassle.

Brilliant. Why didn't I think of that first.

You can use "EndItAll 2" to close down any or all background apps with one click. Its handy when running scandisc, defragging, installing/uninstalling, burning etc.
It`s on the pcmag site:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,1935,00.asp You`ll need to register here to download it though.
You should be able to find an alternative download via google (if you don`t want to register at pcmag).
