## Disabling Antivirus & Windows Security

In order for Hayha to properly install and update, we recommend disabling any antivirus/windows security and/or adding exclusions for Hayha's installation folders. \\

**1.** Identify the antivirus software installed on your system. Common antivirus programs include McAfee, Norton, Avast, AVG, and Kaspersky.

**2.** Disable/Turn off the antivirus&#x20;

* Locate the antivirus software's icon in the system tray (usually found in the bottom-right corner of the desktop).
* Right-click on the antivirus icon to access the context menu.
* Look for an option related to real-time protection, scanning, or shields.
* Disable the real-time protection or any active scanning features.

**3.** Proceed with installing or re-installing Hayha if you encountered any stoppage or blocks upon installation.

**4.** We also recommend adding an exclusion to Hayha's installation folder to avoid any potential performance issues or prevent the stoppages of important Hayha updates.&#x20;

You can find Hayha's installation folder by inputting **%appdata%** and pressing enter in the file path of your file explorer.

In the AppData -> Roaming folder you will find "**HayhaAIO-v2**" which is Hayha's installation folder. Please add this to the exclusion list of your antivirus.&#x20;
