Hi@jerryenix
Webroot works very well with other Antivirus products so you shouldn't have any problems. 
But in order to feel the low performance impact of Webroot I would recommend you to uninstall McAfee.

Hi jerryenix
 
Welcome to the Community Forums.
 
Just to add to what regnor has advised, if I may?
 
WSA is designed, from the ground up, to complement & work with all other major security applications, something it does with only a couple of known exceptions, and that does not include McAfee.
 
In fact WSA is designed to defer to other security applications if they are detected but will jump in should they miss a threat.
 
Hope that assists further?
