How to disable the Internet scan (Advanced)

First, access the Internet scan area through the Internet option in the Go to menu, or by using the Panda Antivirus 6.0 Platinum bar.

To disable the Internet scan, uncheck the Internet enabled option in the Internet status section. It is important to bear in mind that, from the moment the Internet scan is disabled, the computer will be without protection against possible viruses in the incoming Internet contents, and will thus be vulnerable to infection.

Disabling the Internet scan means that the Internet contents that are accessed will not be scanned. However, the Internet scan will still be loaded in memory despite not being enabled. Moreover, the Internet scan will continue to be loaded in memory each time the computer is booted, regardless of the fact that it is not enabled.

Unload: the advanced mode includes an additional option which makes it possible to unload the Internet scan module from memory. When this is done, the Internet scan will not be loaded when the computer is booted.
