MacBook Pro with Big Sur 11.4, Safari 14.1.1 and McAfee 4.11.1.0 (BT Virus Protect). www.gov.uk (as an example) related pages result in 'Page Not Found' message from McAfee. What is the solution please?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.3
Agree totally with previous posting.
There are no known Viruses in the wild that self replicate and affect macOS. There are Malware and Adware that does affect macOS and are often times downloaded as part of an Application from Third Party UnTrusted Site and get installed along with the Application.
Any AntiVirus, Disk Cleaner, Optimizers, Defrag, VPNs etc installed which should be removed as per Developers Instructions. They are useless, unneeded, cause havoc and interfere with the normal operation of the OS and may even Corrupt the OS requiring a Reinstallation. The Built-in Security of Big Sur is all that is required.
Any Third Party Applications that will interfere with the normal operation of the OS, alter, modify, remove or delete or attempt to do so is an invitation for disaster and may require a Reinstallation of the OS. This includes AntiVirus Software.

The solution is to uninstall McAfee. Macs do not need third-party antivirus apps. And as you see, they cause problems.
I can use the 'back arrow' then 'forward arrow' and the McAfee message changes to 'Use caution on this site'. See snip below.
