disable mcafee antivirus S8

[Shell]

Samsung please give us a way to disable the antivirus protection in device maintenance.

Why would you want to do that?

it slows down the phone

Okay. I am not sure but I recall something like my s7e asked for permission before turning on Mcafee security so you may try deleting cache and data of Device maintenance app from Settings>Apps>Show system apps and next time you open Device Maintenance, deny permission for Mcafee. CAUTION AS IT MAY BREAK OTHER PROCESSES. I HAVEN'T TRIED THIS METHOD.
