McAfee Desktop Firewall 8.5 doesn't work properly

Sep 08, 2006 2 Replies

Hi, I have McAfee Desktop firewall 8.5 on my Windows XP pro system, defined a Rule to block all ip protocolls in both directions and activated the firewall.



But I still can go to the internet with tghe browser and the activity protocol of the firewall says "Allowed ..." to all outgoing connections.



What's wrong with the firewall ?



Regards Pep

Obviously it does not do what it is advertised to do. A very common problem with so called personal firewalls.

have to deactivate and activate the network connection as well after firewall is activated.
