I am not able to see Full disk access in system preferences on the macOS Monterey, I am trying to give access to viper antivirus. Any help would be appreciated.
Full Disk Access is in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy.
Uninstall Vipre.

The only help I can offer —Third party AntiVirus is not recommended— it typically does nothing but add issues to the macOS and competes directly with Apples own built in security:
macOS - Security - Apple macOS - Security - Apple
Apple Platform Security - Apple Apple Platform Security - Apple Support

There are no known Windows-like Viruses in the wild that self replicate and affect macOS, because of the underling UNIX Foundation and Permission Limitation.
The Only thing this Antivirus software is protecting is the Bank Account of the Developers and for zero return to the User aside from the problems this software creates.
The The Built in Security is all that is required to protect the computer.
Full Disk Access is there in the same place, but I must add my voice to the other members and strongly advise against installing a third party antivirus.
