That's the way I did it. Your AV will shut up after you do this for awhile. There may be other ways to shut it up, but honestly, you may have to find those on your own by trying new things. I always assume abstinence is what does it for most of us. The AV is persistent, but what helped me was to treat it like petulant child. After I got my feet planted a little more firmly on the ground, I would listen to it, and than chuckle to myself at its ignorance, and go forward with my day. Keep in mind that you are better than your AV. It doesn't have to go away completely, but you don't have to take it seriously. It's just noise.
