[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 89360, post: 911155"] I suggest you review the firewall rules to find out when McAfee might discard packets. Normally, sudden and uninitiated attempts for a remote device to connect are blocked. It doesn't matter if it's Microsoft or even mcafee.com. I believe there is a setting in firewall to block all traffic during bootup, but I might be wrong. I suggest you take a look at the firewall settings, or consult McAfee documentation as I do not have the product installed currently. McAfee GTI is one consolidated network for all products, however the decision products take based on the data is different. Please see the post above for more information. McAfee LiveSafe and Total Protection are configured to "Low" and this can't be changed. Web Advisor is configured on "Medium". Real Protect Cloud and Client are configured to "Medium" meaning they use a smaller subset of classifiers, as compared to ENS configured on "Aggressive". Intrusion Prevention signatures are same, but McAfee LiveSafe/TP will only block what's labelled as "High Risk", even if you set Intrusion Detection to "Aggressive". This means product will detect only known and confirmed exploits. Net Guard is also present, set to "High Risk Only", meaning product will block connection to known C&C servers, but will not be as proactive as ENS, where you can choose even "unverified". [/QUOTE]
