I wasn't looking and I think I blocked my Google Chrome when it popped up. I have the 2010 version of McAfee Internet Sceurity. A lot of people are saying to set Chrome to 'outgoing' on the firewall page, but when I looked, chrome wasn't even listed as one of the programs there. Whenever I try clicking on it, I get this error: Error 138 (net::ERR_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED): Unable to access the network. I have been searching for a solution for nearly an hour now, and need help!
Solved! Go to Solution.
In Security Center's Firewall Settings, go to the 'Internet Connections for Programs' section. There is (or should be) an 'Add' button. Click on it and you should see this -
Leave Access on Full or change it to Outgoing, whichever you prefer. Netguard is best left to On if you have it.
Click Browse and you'll get a list of places in Program Files. Go to Google, select Chrome then Application. Click on 'chrome.exe' and then click the 'Open' button. That window closes. Click on 'Save'. Chrome should now be allowed again.
If it doesn't work or you still get the message, come back and let us know.
