My Firewall Keeps Turning Off

Jump to solution

I have had the McAfee firewall for a long time, but recently it started shutting off automatically up to 10 or more times per day. Please send me the fix ASAP, it is driving me crazy. I am running Windows 7 Home on a Dell.

Hi tswiss,

It was wonderful working with you. It was the error with Windows firewall. Your Windows Firewall service was not running. It was disabled. McAfee Firewall does have a dependency service with Windows Firewall. So Windows Firewall service must be started as ‘automatic’ type for running McAfee Firewall. I ran the tool to start it, that fixed the issue.

As discussed through phone ; If you are facing any issue. Kindly post back. All the best
