How to disable firewall in McAfee Internet Security?

The reason why McAfee is among the most popular internet security software is that it really provides a great protection. But, sometimes, the protection is so strong that it might impact the user experience. In some cases, the McAfee firewall will prevent secure sites from opening. It might also stop you from downloading some files, which it flags as dangerous.
So, if the firewall is too strict, you might want to think about turning it off. The good news is that disabling the firewall can be done easily. Furthermore, switching it off does not mean that your computer will get unprotected. The antivirus will still keep you safe from malware, phishing schemes, and even spams emails.
