i had the same problem, i could not understand that "locker's sign" is clickable! But now it works fine.
i think other people can meet the same manual misunderstanding.
Hi Chetan,
Thanks for your info :)
but i have another question, can we give password when client trying to disabled antivirus ?
I can do this for uninstall, but for disabled I cannot find where is the setting :(
You can use the application and device control policy to protect the client registry and services from being stopped. If you have tamper protection enabled, this will also prevent this as well.
