No, I don't know a better way...but I have tried myself for basically
the same reasons. I got the notion that if they were easily disabled,
then that would represent an attack option by viruses trying to get
by...don't know if that is true or not.

been disabling the AV's services, but I've found that when I do that
with NIS (surprise, suprise, it's a piece of crap) then it shuts down
access to the internet because it's firewall is off. Then I end up
having to turn the service back on (no small feat because the PoS
tries to prevent changes to it's service settings even though it's
turned off.) Does anyone know of a better way to disable AVs
(especially NIS) without uninstalling so that I can still access the
internet?
