McAfee Help

Set Smart Advice to ask me to decide

You can set Smart Advice for Personal Firewall to ask you to decide whether to allow access each time a potentially dangerous program tries to access the Internet. Smart Advice also displays a recommendation to help you decide. This setting is a good option when you want to be closely involved in your security administration, or when you are aware of programs that you want to manually allow or deny access to the Internet.

1 Open the Firewall settings page.
2 Click Smart Advice and Advanced Settings.
3 Select Enable Smart Advice.
4 Select Ask me to decide.
5 Click Apply.
