sudo /usr/local/McAfee/AntiMalware/VSControl stopoas

alternatively

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.mcafee.ssm.antimalware.plist OAS_Enable -bool False
sudo /usr/local/McAfee/AntiMalware/VSControl stop
sudo /usr/local/McAfee/AntiMalware/VSControl reload

Or completely uninstall:

sudo -s
cd /usr/local/McAfee/
./uninstall EPM

Few more tricks. I had to run each of them twice.

To disable Firewall

sudo /usr/local/McAfee/StatefulFirewall/bin/StatefullFirewallControl stop

To disable WebProtection

sudo /usr/local/McAfee/WebProtection/bin/WPControl stop

Is there a way to turn these back on? Previously a restart would enable everything again, but no longer with OS Sonoma.
