Symantec AntiVirus: Disable and enable auto-protect security risk scanning and blocking

Add to Favorites

To disable and enable Auto-Protect security risk scanning and block, please follow the steps below:

1. In Symantec AntiVirus, in the left pane, click Configure.

2. In the right pane, click File System Auto-Protect.

3. Under Options, do the following:

Check or uncheck Scan for Security Risks.
Check or uncheck Block Security Risks.

4. Click OK.

Note: Regardless of whether the Block Security Risks checkbox is enabled, if Symantec determines that blocking a security risk could compromise a computer's stability, then Auto-Protect allows the risk to install and immediately takes the action that is configured for the risk.
