How to close Viber on a laptop without uninstalling?












1















I do not use a smartphone and I have installed Viber on my laptop. (To be precise I first installed Bluestack, then I installed Viber on the Bluestack interface, and then I installed a version of Viber on my desktop, so that in effect the installation on Bluestack functioned as if it were on a virtual smartphone. After I then uninstalled Bluestack, Viber on the desktop continued to work.) My question is this: how can I close Viber the way one closes other programs, meaning that it is only running when I want it to run and then when I don't want it to run it isn't running, and then when I want it to run again I open the program again? All I can find is a way to "deactivate" the program, which appears to be the company's word for uninstalling it.
