VShieldScanner - where is it?

I am getting a pop up window from McAfee stating that I need to give access for files in Mac settings.  When I go to the settings in System Preferences three of the four files they are asking for are listed.  But not the VShieldScanner.  How do I get the VShieldScanner to appear in the list? 

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hi @Jimborooski 

Greetings from McAfee!

Full Disk Access is a security feature in macOS Big Sur that requires apps to be given permission before they can access all files on your Mac. Kindly refer the below article for complete details.

Re: VShieldScanner - where is it?

I followed the article “ How to grant Full Disk Access for real-time sans on macOS”, but VShieldScanner is not listed among the rest.  How do I get VShieldScanner to show up in the list? 

Also, you stated to contact the chat support using the link below.  I clicked on McAffes Support  and got a message that the page’s address isn’t valid.  How do I get to a place where I can chat?

Thank you for any help you might provide.
