Solve : How to Turn off/Disable Mcafee Temporarily from System Tray? |
|
Answer» I have an HP Pavilion laptop with Windows 8.1 . I want to temporarily turn off/disable Mcafee in the system tray while I install Nero 2015 Classic. I did not see the options for this, so I searched Google. The results say "double click the icon, then click Advanced tab". McAfee keeps your computer safe from virus infections, but sometimes you may need to disable it in order to install a program, or perform some other advanced task on the computer. You can quickly disable McAfee from its System Tray menu, but what if you need to uninstall it completely? This is where THINGS get a little tricky. See Step 1 below to learn how to disable or uninstall any McAfee product. Quote 2How that is want your want. Sorry about the right-click. I checked and the options listed did not indicate anything about exiting or closing the application. Thanks Geek for the link. That looks like exactly what to do. It tells how to turn off scanning without disabling the entire application. I guess this is semantics. I consider disabling software (or hardware) and/or removing it from the system tray different than turning features off or on. That's why I couldn't find the appropriate option the first time. I actually did install the software before I posted this topic, but certain parts of the installation at the end (which I call advanced automatic) failed with error code 23. I was able to open the software afterwards and burn a cd, which is all I needed to do for right now, but I do want to complete the installation. However, it's going to be one week before I try anything more with it, because I will be using it this coming weekend to burn a cd for somebody, and I do not want to disrupt anything by re-installing the software to prove the point about Mcafee AV. The Nero forum support said the following in this topic http://forum.nero.com/nero_eng/topics/error_code_23 Quote Generally the error code 23 issue is caused by the installer. Please try to download the installer again, and check the MD5 checksum and deactivate the Antivirus during the installation process. |
