Disable Your Antivirus Software

This guide is for student users who may encounter issues with antivirus software when installing Examplify or starting a secure exam; if problems arise, we recommend temporarily disabling the antivirus software

In this guide:

After you complete the installation or the exam, re-enable your antivirus software.

Best Practices

We recommend the following best practices:  

  • Use a secure private network.  
  • Do not access the internet while your antivirus software is disabled.  
  • Temporarily disable your network connection.
    • However, if you're taking an exam with ExamID enabled, you need an internet connection until the verification process is done.
    • When the Warning! Secure Exam Starting! Message appears, then you can disable your network connection.
