temporarily disable antivirus program

I’m trying to install a new printer and the instructions asked me to temporarily disable the antivirus program. I’m a senior with limited knowledge and have no idea how to do this. Will someone help me please. Thanks.

My advice would be to ignore this instruction and simply go on with the installation.
It really doesn’t have much sense to disable antivirus programs for installations - even though many (installers) indeed recommend that.

I suggest the same as Igor.

Just for a little more reinforcement, I learnt long ago not to disable the anti-virus program. As the others stated, there is no real need to do this.
