Problem regarding McAfee antivirus protection

Asked By stuartclark 0 points N/A Posted on - 07/28/2011

Hi!

How do I temporarily turn off McAfee Antivirus protection and turn it on again for printer software installation. 

 

I'm using a Compaq Presario computer with "Windows vista home premium".

 

The printer is a Lexmark three in one, X 1270.

 

Can anyone help me out to solve my problem on an urgent basis?

 

Thanks!
