How do I Temporarily Disable Mcafee to Restore Windows 7?

You shouldn't have to disable anything to use System Restore as McAfee doesn't block Windows processes unless of course they are infected.

However you can either disable or remove completely.

To disable VirusScan

Double-click the taskbar icon to open SecurityCenter

Click Virus and Spyware Protection

Click Real-Time Scanning

Turn off and tell it for how long you wish it to remain that way.

You can do the same for Personal Firewall under the Web and Email Protection drawer on the main screen.

To uninstall the product simply go to Control Panel/Programs/Uninstall a Program and remove it there and if necessary use the MCPR cleanup tool listed under Useful Links at the top of this page.

A reboot will be required to complete the process.

Intel (R) AT Supported System Lock Due to: Disable Timer Expired

All I can gather from the web on what to do when you see that:

Advanced Theft Protection has locked the system. This can be due to: theft, loss, timeout.  (IN THESE CASES THE LATTER MOST LIKELY)

Please enter your personal security code for authentification. Incorrect entries will permanently delete all of the data.

I guess the problem here is that you never set up an authentication code or you don't know it.    This may be provided by the seller or manufacturer of the machine or by the IT department for those using machines for work.

I don't use the product however so am just guessing here.
