How to disable McAfee Firewall and turn on Windows Firewall?

How can I disable McAfee Firewall and turn back on the Windows Firewall?  The obvious sequence of clicks (Win 7) in Control Panel does not work.

Hi EEA6,

In addition to the post of Dave_M, please see the link next on the McAfee site:

More information on Windows Firewall, also, has the following:

I hope this helps!

  • How to save a position and dimensions of windows on the desktop?

    How to save a position and dimensions of windows on the desktop?

    In Vista, there are limited means of control Windows and many of those who apply to the general patterns and not to individual windows.

    The following includes about what Vista can offer in this area, and I don't think that this will do exactly what you want (even if it is possible that the first option with references to other related articles can do a little of that, but I don't think that he can do everything or entirely as you wish without 3rd party help) except for the 3rd party program that winsizeme also mentioned below.  That may do the trick:

    Here's how to change the default template for a folder:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets thefolder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show you how to resetthe Windows Explorer folder view settings, disable Automatic folder Type discovery and increase theview of the folder cache to have Vista don't forget display settings, model of file type, size, or position of a specific window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

    It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with,open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the goodFile menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free program WinSizeMehttp://www.pcmag.com/article2/0, 2817,2339650,00.asp to resize them and record the sizes and locations (I changed the program that mentioned in the article, because even if it is a Vista article, the 3rd referenced application part it does not indicate speciiquement is compatible with Vista so that it doesn't).  I have never personally used this program myself so I can't say for some it will achieve your goals, but from what I've read on this subject, it should do the trick (although I don't think it will be automatic - you may need to set each window you want to save in this way - but that's about all that's available if you need to decide whether or not this alternative is better or) (no).  I'm not certain if it applies to programs or only records - but since it's free you can test and see if it helps you with your situation (it may be that it is useful in some cases and not the worth or effective in others - it of for you to decide (but considers that there is really no other alternative that those presented here - just Vista is not this type of detailed features except to a lesser extent) as described in section 1 above).

    Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

    Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she claims it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the prior links provided:http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)  I include it only because it is an option - but also what he says it is not a very good alternative (but if none of the other works, it may be worth).

    I hope this helps.

  • How will I know that I turned on Windows Defender?

    How will I know that I turned on Windows Defender?

    Hello, welcome.

    If please, go to the flag in the task bar and click on it, click Open Action Center, expand the chevron of security, spyware / malware protection-click see installed antispyware programs and you'll see it there. Don't forget that you have an antivirus, I'd say you Microsoft Security Essentials to http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ , just click on this link. Note that if you install MSE, it will turn off Windows Defender by default.

    Kind regards.

  • How to disable mcafee antivirus for a while

    I need to disable McAfee Antivirus just for a few moments.  How should I do this!

    Thank you...

    I need to disable McAfee Antivirus just for a few moments.  How should I do this!

    Thank you...

    Ask McAfee.  Their product, they will have to rely on it (not to talk about what your answer will depend on the SPECIFIC product).

    Or - even better - uninstall and get something better.  Free (not of some makers of ISP/computer getting a rebound) and probably less resource intensive with better results all around.

    Get rid of McAfee. Anything and everything that made by McAfee.

    Regarding AntiVirus - free are very good: Avira, AVG, Avast

    You could spend ~ 60USD during two years of eSET NOD32 AntiVirus (not more - just product AntiVirus) and which would be more worthwhile.

    In your case, here is what I propose...

    Choose one product other than McAfee or Norton. Get it.

    Uninstall McAfee stuff (use their removal there tool.)

    After a reboot - install your new product and update after the installation.

    Run a full scan with it.

    Then - just to make sure you started on the right foot...

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner. Remove everything it finds.

    Reset.

  • I don't have a message to tell me the image my takes up screen is set to full screen. How to disable the who and the fade slow when he goes to fs?

    In Firefox 42

    When a site like youtube when I make the video fullscreen it just melted slow useless when it does. And then tells me that it is full screen. I know that it is full screen for two reasons. One, I hit the button fullscreen. Two, the video takes up my entire screen. The message point. Use the fade. How can I disable them?

    To disable the fade, you can change these preferences of the topic: config page.

    • full-screen - api .transition - duration.enter: "0 0".
    • full-screen - api .transition - duration.leave: "0 0".

    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

    I do not know how to disable the warning, but it might be possible to hide this message with code to userChrome.css or elegant.
    This message is displayed for security reasons because a malicious script can switch to full screen mode and take over the entire window without noticing you (i.e. show a fake office).

    Good. It is a very bad choice, in my opinion.

    It has no product called Windows Security. Do you mean Microsoft
    Security Essentials?

    If you mean that Microsoft Security Essentials, it turns off Windows
    Defender, because it does essentially the same thing itself and you
    don't need both. It is not a problem, and you should not try to fix it.

  • How to show multiple photos and remove unwanted Windows Media Center photos?

    Original title: Windows Medica Center - get photos

    I have updated from Vista to 7. I loaded hundreds of photos in the computer since then.

    However, I can see only one photo at a time. How can I view multiple photos at a time and how I delete unwanted photos?

    Thank you

    Hi jdhill93,

    You cannot view several pictures at the same time on a single screen on Windows Media Center.
    See See pictures and videos in Windows Media Center

    Step 1: Remove a photo from your computer
    a. on the Windows Media Center start screen, access images + videos and then click picture library.
    b. navigate to the image you want to delete, click on the image, click on remove and then click Yes.

    Note: Deleting files permanently removes files from your computer. Back up the files before deleting.
