Firewall is disabled by default

cdfreelancer · 01-21-2006, 03:07 PM

I've been using McAfee firewall now for over a year and until recently had no problems with it.

Lately, however, I've noticed that after rebooting, the firewall is always switched-off and I have to manually enable it before connecting to the internet. I'm sure that it never used to be like this.

I've updated, spybot and adaware and done a full system scan with both. I've also done a deep-scan using McAfee and found no viruses or spyware.

Any ideas?

Come on guys. This is really worrying me now. Whenever I reboot my PC, my firewall is always disabled and I have to manually enable it.

Look on the McAfee site at the FAQ's, that's where I'd start.
