Either read the AV's Help file or visit the manufacturer of the AV to
learn how this is done.
Just disabling it's real time monitoring of the system is NOT sufficient.
You should *completely* disable it's Services and startup files.

Services and startup files can be temporarily disabled in the System
Configuration Utility.
