McAfee Antivirus minimizes the risk of dangerous downloads, blocks dangerous emails with anti-spam, anti-theft and file protection for smartphones and iOS tablets.



If you’re a Windows or Mac user, you need to be familiar with McAfee Antivirus, one of the most popular antivirus software in the past. The only downside is that it stutters and delays the PC most of the time, as it usually consumes most of the resources to process the windows and take time, and at the end, the PC starts to slow things down.

That’s why today we’ll give you some tips to help you make your PC a little faster while maintaining your safety.

First let’s see what it really does to make your PC slow, this antivirus program automatically protects the C drive and therefore checks every single file sent in the temporary folder, any file trying to access the registry or any driver files, etc ,

Now that they are not corrupted, it equals the PC’s processor, leaving less resource to run the PC. Therefore, the computer starts to hang.

These are some of the tips which you can perform on your PC and thereby make your PC a bit faster at the end of the day; hope these tips helped you to do the same.

It is not advisable to install antivirus software after the license expires. We recommend that you renew or completely remove the McAfee antivirus software and install other security software.

If you have installed expired security software, there is a high probability of a virus infection in your computer

Step: 1 Change the settings from constant protection to constant monitoring

  • Open the McAfee program.
  • Expand the navigation pane.
  • Change the option in the Protection tab of Constant Protection to Constant Surveillance.

This actually makes the program to just maintain monitoring, but if we navigate to some untrusted sites, we need to enable full protection to be protected.

And even we actually have to do scans manually when we insert a new drive into the PC, which means we have to be particularly aware when using it in constant monitoring mode.

Step: 2 Disable unnecessary scans

You can actually disable running scans that this antivirus program offers and actually do a scan every day at the end, which can actually prevent it from affecting our work, and we can continue our work without the PC getting slow and failing again and again. McAfee Support Australia 1-800-958-239 works day and night at your service. Please let us know if you have any further technical issue. You can completely bank upon us and hope that we won’t let you down.
