Avast is a popular anti-virus software that can be found on many computers. It can be a nuisance if it runs in the background, constantly monitoring your computer.

There are a few ways to stop Avast from running in the background.

The first option is to disable the automatic update feature. If you choose to disable this feature, Avast will not automatically download and install new updates.

This means that you will need to manually update it if there are any new security patches available.

The second option is to disable the background scanning feature. If you do this, Avast will not monitor your computer for malware or other security threats.

This can be useful if you do not want the software to constantly be running in the background.

The final option is to simply disable the Avast software altogether. This will stop it from running in the background, but it will also remove any protection that it may have provided.
