What security preferences are blocking McAfee?

changed some of my Macbook's security settings today. I also updated to the latest version of High Sierra (10.13.4) shortly before changing my security settings. Shortly thereafter, I got the following message from McAfee:

Your system's security preferences are blocking McAfee software from loading. Because of this, some software features are not enabled. You can change your settings in the Security & Privacy System Preferences pane. Click OK to open System Preferences.

"Cancel" and "OK" are then given as options.

This keeps popping up.

The privacy features I changed:

Share Mac Analytics and Share with App Developers were turned off.

Dropbox and Steam are no longer allowed to "control [my] computer", changed under "Accessibility"

Under Location Services, under System Services, "Location-Based Suggestions" was turned off and "Significant Locations" was reset and turned off.

What security features are making McAfee upset? Or does it have to do with the OS update?
