Avast Free Antivirus is a great antivirus software, but it can be a bit of a nuisance at times. Fortunately, there are a few ways to turn it off if you don’t want it running in the background.

First, open the Avast Free Antivirus main window and click on the “Settings” button in the top-left corner. On the “Settings” page, click on the “General” tab.

In the “General” tab, under “Behavior”, click on the “Auto-Start” button. In the “Auto-Start” window, uncheck the box next to “Avast Free Antivirus”.

If you want to temporarily disable Avast Free Antivirus while you’re using the computer, you can open the “Task Manager” by pressing the Ctrl+Shift+Esc buttons at the same time. In the “Task Manager” window, click on the “Processes” tab, and then click on the “Avast Free Antivirus” process.

Right-click on the “Avast Free Antivirus” process, and then select “End Process”.

Finally, you can disable Avast Free Antivirus completely by opening the “Control Panel” by pressing the Windows key + I buttons at the same time. In the “Control Panel” window, click on the “Programs” tab, and then click on the “Avast Free Antivirus” program.

In the “Avast Free Antivirus” program window, click on the “Uninstall” button.
