How To Disable McAfee Temporarily In Windows?

It must be said that the instructions on this page are to temporarily disable an antivirus application, not to import an antivirus. Also, the solution to this question varies from one antivirus application to another, which means you may need to use a little bit of flair. But, most virus protection applications can be disabled by following the steps below.


Disable in Windows

    Look for the virus protection application icon in the Windows notification area. The following are some examples of the appearance of the antivirus program icon.


    1. McAfee 
    2. Norton
    3. AVG 
    4. Kaspersky
    5. Webroot

    After locating the antivirus icon, right-click on the icon and choose Disable, Stop, Close or something similar. Sometimes you may want to start the application and disable it with the application menus.


    Disable McAfee on Windows 10

    In the previous section, we discussed how to disable any third-party antivirus programs and some of these need a few clicks from the Windows notification area. Microsoft Security Essentials is just one of the particular cases that we have asked regularly.


    1. Click the Microsoft Security Essentials icon at the Windows Notification location, then click Open.
    2. Click the Preferences tab, then click Real-time Protection.
    3. Disable by starting in safe mode


    Disable Activating in Safe Mode


    When the above recommendations did not help you disable your antivirus scanner, it is possible to start Safe Mode, which does not load any third-party applications, such as your antivirus program. Booting into safe mode can be useful at times when you are concerned that the antivirus application will interrupt another application during setup.
