How to Turn Off McAfee Firewall in Windows 10 and Mac

by Jack Martin I Am Professional

The McAfee Firewall is designed to act as an impenetrable barrier between your computer and the internet. This barrier on your Windows 10 or Mac device will help to monitor any suspicious activity and keep your computer safe from online threats. Once you install your security product using the McAfee activation code, you can use the security settings to enable or disable the Firewall as per your preference. This blog will give you an overview of how you can make the necessary changes to turn off McAfee Firewall in Windows 10 and Mac.

Steps to disable the McAfee Firewall

If for any reason you feel you need to temporarily disable your McAfee firewall you can refer to the steps below to turn it off:

·         Step 1: Click on the antivirus icon and open your McAfee software.

·         Step 2: Click the gear icon and go to the PC or Mac Security settings.

·         Step 3. Look for the Firewall and click the toggle button next to it.

·         Step 4: Once you turn off the Firewall, you can restart your browser or your system and check if the issue you were facing is resolved.

While it is true that turning off the Firewall will make it easier to run certain programs, it could also put your computer at risk. Computer experts recommend turning on the Firewall as soon as you complete your work. McAfee gives you the option of switching the Firewall on again automatically after a preset time. You just need to look for the “When do you want to resume Firewall” option in the drop-down list and then select the time that you prefer. If you have any trouble enabling or disabling the Firewall, you can reinstall the software using the McAfee activation key and then try again. You can also call the customer service number and speak to a qualified technical support representative for additional assistance.
