Configuring the McAfee Firewall

The McAfee Firewall is configured for the product when purchasing the product in order to protect the computer from viruses. However, if the firewall is activated, you may not connect to the network or the Internet properly. In this case, you have to change the settings as follows.

Method 1) When you need to select Allow Access in the Server or Internet Access Request window.

When you connect to a bank, stock market, or gaming website, an access request window appears. In this case, select Allow Access in the window and click OK. Then you can install the program normally or open the page.

Method 2) When you need to deactivate the Firewall

If you cannot connect to the Internet when using a broadband Internet service, you can connect to the Internal normally if you disable the McAfee Firewall. However, since it may cause a security problem, be careful when doing so.

Turn the Internet&Network at the right to Off, set the Select when to re-enable firewall to Never and then click OK.

Click Home in the left menu pane and click Ignore next to the ‘Firewall protection is disabled’ message.
