I can not access most web pages unless as is suggested by "troubleshooter" turn off firewall. I do this with Mcafee and problem is solved for the 15mins I have allotted for it to be off. but then what? I am running windows 7, and am not very computer literate.

Fixed! Go to the fix.

To be honest there are better options out there, both free and paid for.
If it helped click the thumb
If it fixed it click 'This fixed my problem'

Get rid of McAfee and get something proper.
It's the cheapest, trashiest and worst quality protection you can get. I've had it on numerous machines (it comes prebundled usually to guarantee custom) and it's nothing but hassle on every occassion.

I dont understand why people buy into other anti virus programs the one that comes built into win 10 is perfect.

So you found that using a different search engine solved your problem and awarded yourself the "this fixed it" prize lol.
Just get rid of McAfee. Like I said to you earlier it is nothing but trouble.

Must admit i did have to think a bit when yahoo was mentioned, then i figured it was being used as a search engine. I never knew they had their own browser, i guess that must have been really early on!
The early yahoo brings back a few memories.. now i'm feeling all nostalgic lol.

Yes but there are free anti virus programs that are much superior to McAfee which as previously mentioned is bundled on most new machines for a reason - it's quality stinks and its the only way they can drum up business.
Download Avast, thats pretty decent and free.
