Firewall resetting permissions for programs

[bmwenger007]

I handle the computers at my church.  I have two computers running McAfee that about every week, I have to go in and reallow programs.  I am attempting to keep TeamViewer, Chrome, and Flash updated, but almost every week they are blocked again.

Why does this keep happening?  If I allow a program, I did it for a reason and the software shouldn't force me to change it each and every time I want to use that program.

We are paying way to much for a service that is starting to get in our way.  It decided that a website we normally use is outside of "McAfee's" usage policy.  It isn't in your hands to decide what I can and can't use.  It is my responsiblilty.

Make this right or we will be one more unsatisifed customer who will not be coming back.

You will always be asked if you want to update things like those, no matter what settings you use, it's a security precaution and isn't just the firewall that's acting, SiteAdvisor and even your own browser and Windows iteself have checks and balances in place to ensure safety.

I would ask Technical Support for an opinion if I were you.  It's free by phone or online chat and linked under Useful Links at the top of this page.

I think you'd find most security companies' software act similarly.
