    I need to download and install an external hard drive on my PC. I would like to temporarily disable Nod 32 so that there is no interference while doing this.
    I can't see any way of doing a temporary disable of Nod 32. Can you walk me through this. I need the steps. Thanks so much for your time.

    Right click the green ESET icon in your taskbar, disable. Done.

    That is my problem. I've right clicked the icon and these are my options:
    Open Window
    Computer Scan
    Update
    About
    There is no "disable" choice for me to pick.

    You should toggle advanced mode first.

    Advanced mode can be accessed by launching the main GUI.

    I opened the GUI, after finding out what GUI means, and looked for "advanced mode". Could not find it. I did go into "settings" and saw something about "advanced" but when I clicked on that there was nothing about disabling. Why is this so hard to locate. People must want to temporarily disable Nod 32 from time to time to download and install programs. I can't be the only one.
