Internet Traffic Setting	Description

Filter all traffic	Gives you the opportunity to decide whether an
	application or program in your computer will be
	allowed to access the Internet. If an unrecognized
	program attempts to access your computer from the
	Internet, you will also be given an opportunity to
	allow or block its access your computer.

Allow all traffic	Configures McAfee Firewall to allow all Internet
	traffic into and out of your computer. All programs in
	your computer will be allowed to access the Internet;
	programs attempting to access your computer from
	the Internet will not be blocked. Allow all traffic
	disables all McAfee Firewall protection features and
	should only be used for diagnostic purposes.
