Disable Smart Recommendations

You can disable Smart Recommendations for Firewall to allow or

block programs, and alert you about unrecognized and

potentially dangerous programs. However, the alerts exclude any

recommendations about handling access for programs. If

Firewall detects a new program that is suspicious or is known to

be a possible threat, it automatically blocks the program from

accessing the Internet.

1 On the McAfee SecurityCenter pane, click

Internet &

Network, then click Configure.

2 On the Internet & Network Configuration pane, under

Firewall protection is enabled, click Advanced.

3 On the Security Level pane, under

Smart

Recommendations, select Don't apply Smart

Recommendations.

4 Click

OK.

Display Smart Recommendations

You can display Smart Recommendations to display only a

recommendation in the alerts so that you decide whether to allow

or block unrecognized and potentially dangerous programs.
