Often you have to deal with problems with automatic software updates on a personal computer. The operating system can also automatically update when the connection is connected.
Instructions
Step 1
How can I disable all updates on my computer? Basically, frequent updates occur in this type of software such as antivirus software. However, it should be noted that for complete protection, the program must update the signature databases in time, since new viruses are constantly being created, and the developers immediately add the types of viruses found to the list of suspicious files. If you do not update the anti-virus databases in time, the program will not be able to determine that you have one of the types of malware on your computer.
Step 2
In addition to anti-virus software, a personal computer has a large list of programs that are automatically updated via the Internet. You can block the connection, namely the update of a particular program, using network scanners. These utilities automatically scan all traffic and block unwanted connections. Find similar programs on the Internet and install them on your computer.
Step 3
You can also disable the update via the Internet manually for each program. For example, you need to allow some utilities to allow updates and others not. In this case, in manual mode, enter the menu of each program and set the appropriate settings. As a rule, each program has parameters that allow you to configure the update at specific intervals. You can completely disable any utility from connecting to the Internet.
Step 4
When you connect to the Internet, a notification may appear that the operating system of your computer needs to update some modules. Do not reject this offer. For security reasons, you should always load such modules in order for the operating system to work in full mode.
Step 5
You can add the update server to the ban category. To do this, the Windows operating system has a file into which such sites and servers are entered. Find the Windows folder. It is usually located in the "C" directory. Next, go to system32. Find the drivers folder and double click on the etc. folder. Run the hosts file using a text editor. Add the sites to be banned to it. Save your changes.
