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

Internal normally if you disable the McAfee Firewall.
However, since it may cause a security problem, be
careful when doing so.
