It is an ILLITERATE downgrade
ALL OF THE FIREWALL RULES SUDDENLY WERE GONE, AND THE BLOCKED PROGRAMS SUDDENLY HAD AN INTERNET CONNECTION which imposed a HUGE security risk on my pc.
Mcafee is the threat, not the solution.
This is called backstapping!!
Spent HOURS with customer service. The agent promised he could fix that, asked to do a remote session, kept wandering aimlessly and asked me to use windows firewall.
That was his solution.
I am ending my subscription and moving to bit defender.

I hope we have any reply from McAfee support team
i have posted earlier in a reply in this topic the service doc for the New Advanced Firewall for Livesafe/Totalprotection.
McAfee KB - Firewall in new LiveSafe and Total Protection (TS103342)
somewhere in the middle of this doc there is to read;;
how to turn on the New Advanced Firewall
if you click there on the + marking it shows images how to turn on the McAfee Advnced Firewall if it is turned of
and
there is an image to turn on Windows Defender Firewall to get Full Firewall Protection
question;
has anybody seen the image to turn on Windows Defender Firewall ?
i have not and don't know where to look if it is enabled aswell to have Full Protection...................
You are right, this step is unavailable. I never see this option
Hello @Tarek1
thanks for checking and coming back here with the outcome.
will notify mcafee mod about it.
unsettling not knowing if both are now enabled or not.........................
The silence from any moderator from McAfee is telling is that this feature is not comming back. McAfee disabled this feature most likely because they failed with the last roll out of the alert viewer taking up all the resources and everyone complaining about that. So why not just remove it, yea that was a bad decision. So off to a different firewall for me.
I will complete my remaining subscription then move to other security software with good firewall and customer support. Any other firewall solution can be used during that time. Which is the best solution?
