Shutdown Avast! Temporarily on OSX Leopard

I need to upgrade the firmware on my Mac. The installation instructions request all applications to be shutdown before installation. I can’t figure out how to stop Avast! temporarily so I can install the upgrade. I do not wish to uninstall it; just shut it down for a little while.

Thanks for any help,
Rob

Nevermind, I finally found it. :slight_smile: It is in the Avast! preferences. You deselect the “Launch at startup as persistent application” on the Generic tab.
