Is there a simple way to turn Bitdefender off temporarily to do an install of software via internet

Karl J

Attempting to download a trusted program that fails because it says another program is running. My guess is that other program is Bitdefender. Wish to turn Bit. off temporarily. Watched a video that had dozens of steps to turn Bit. off. Must be an easier way or I am using the wrong security software.

Hello @Karl J,

Try to disable the Bitdefender Shield first and check if you can download the program afterwards. If not, follow the steps provided by Flexx above to temporarily disable all the security modules.
