My computer has McAfee antivirus installed, but it's causing some issues. I want to temporarily disable it to see if that resolves the problems. How can I force McAfee to stop running its antivirus scans and protections?

    To disable McAfee Antivirus and Firewall Protection, start by opening the McAfee software installed on your device.

    This could be LiveSafe, Total Protection, or any other McAfee security product you might have.

    Once the software is open, navigate to the left menu and locate the My Protection tab.

    Scroll down or locate the Real-Time Scanning option, which is responsible for monitoring your system for threats in real-time.
