Mcafee Antivirus on Monterey

Greetings, seems that Mcafee Antivirus on Monterey (Mac Studio) does not function well. terminates upon asking for an update and many times terminates upon requesting a scan. stays dormant if left dormant, not sure it is doing what it is doing anyways. does anyone have this issue? Mcafee forum states (reinstall Mac OS). not sure this will solve it.

regards

Mac Studio, macOS 12.4

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.


Any of the below should be removed as per Developers Instructions 


McAfee, and please read some of the issues this software creates
