Hi @ArnaudL 

We understand your concern. Please disable scheduled scan from the UI. reboot the machine and check issue status.

What has the scheduled scan have to do with that? Also, why should I disable that function, that is part of the reason to install a virus scanner in the first place?

As far as I can see from other threads on the forum, this issue has not yet been resolved. Since I have that same problem, any more ideas than to disable the very product I have bought secure my mac?

Thats the easy way out! I have McAfee for free (enterprise solution), so wouldnt want to spend extra money. But at this point I am wondering if I would even miss it. If I dont find a solution, I might as well uninstall and let it RIP https://showbox.bio/ https://vidmate.cool/.
