Hi, You could just unplug both cables from the back of the router. That would ensure you were disconnected.

The other thing that occurs would be to go into network connections and disable your network from there. Right click and select disable. That would have the same effect. If you go this way, remember to enable again from the same location.

Yes, I know that sounds stupid doesn't it? but I'm sure most of you won't think it is once I've explained. Once I've downloaded Nod32 4, I want to disconnect from the internet before I uninstall version 3 and install version 4. I have a master switch commanding power on and off for my entire set up and the cables have been neatly and very tightly tied up by an electrician so that it's extremely difficult to follow one from its socket to its origin and the same goes for the USB cables. On my router there is a cable going to the telephone and one to the computer but I can't feel precisely which is which, so, I can't easily physically disconnect my system from the Internet.
I've looked in Control Panel but can't find anything there.
I haven't got anything about my router as software because, as the system works very well without it, I didn't see the point until now, perhaps to load my PC with junk from my ISP I will never use. Anyone knows of a soft, temporary way to disconnect from the internet? If Internet explorer, Messenger and my email client are not open, does it mean nothing can come in? I only want the system to be disconnected while I uninstall and re-install Nod 32, what risk do I run on a scale of 1 to 10 to catch something nasty while doing this if I stay connected?
Any thoughts/comments very much appreciated.
Thank you all in advance.
Cheers now,
Marie
