How to Prevent a Download of a Video PHP

Preventing PHP file downloads is easy to do.

Typically, a video PHP file is a helper file, one that automatically downloads for a browser or other program with an automatic update system. Usually, these files are not harmful, and any harmful ones will not pass through your virus protection program. However, you may have other reasons to not want video PHPs to download. If you are running low on room, do not want automatic updates, or dislike a specific video PHP file for any reason, you can prevent it from downloading automatically.

Instructions

1. Open the programs you don't want PHP files to automatically download for, if you know specific programs you do not want downloads for.

2. Click on "Options" and then choose "Updates." Find "Automatic Updates" and turn them off. This will prevent files from downloading as long as you know which programs they will download for.

3. Open your computer control panel and find "Internet Options." Choose "Updates" and then "Automatic Updates." Uncheck the box by "Automatic Updates." This will prevent files from automatically downloading.

4. Close the download box for any PHP files that begin to download when you are online. If you close the box before the download can get onto your computer, you will be able to prevent the PHP download.

Tips & Warnings

• Some PHP downloads are helpful, such as those for your web browser or virus program. If you don't have these downloads, your programs may not work correctly.
