Is there a way to temporarily turn off my Norton AntiVirus and Norton Firewall?

I only need to turn it off for five minutes. How can I do this?

I downloaded it free from AT%26T Yahoo.

Where can I access it to turn it off temporarily?

Obviously, I'm not a very bright person because I've come to the point where I'm sharing my computer problems with random strangers over the internet. Please put things in simple terms. That's all I ask.

In the start menu.

go to Norton

look for properties

the turn off option might be in there.

or restart your computer in safe mode, that should disable the anti virus and firewall.

These are the directions straight from the manufacturers' web site:

1. Right-click the Auto-Protect icon, which is located by the clock in the Windows system tray.

2. Click Disable.

(For Norton AntiVirus 2005, in the Options popup window that appears, select the period for which you want Auto-Protect turned off, and then click OK. )

A red circle with a slash through its center appears, which indicates that Auto-Protect is disabled.

Those are for Windows computers. I'm assuming you have one, but if not, here is the link to the instructions for Macs.
