Hello there! Why in the world would you turn off your AV? Well here it is.

1. Go to the Navigation Center in your McAfee product.

2. Scroll down and you will find the Real-Time Scanning Feature and click it.

3. Once there just click Turn Off. After you're done with what you're doing just do the process again to turn it back on.

I sometimes turn mine off when I am installing (after I have downloaded).

Yes; but not in Win 7. Some software installations recommend disabling the AV prior to installation.

Hi, foresttodd.

Either navigate to the McAfee folder in Program Files and click the .exe file or simply do a shutdown/restart.

thanks for that, but how do i turn it back on?

Did you try accessing your AV through the shortcut and enabling the Real-time protection again? What version of McAfee are you running anyway?
