Home computer, plugged into a little Cisco router (Linksys?) with wireless network to two other computers. This computer shares a folder and a printer. Once McAFee installed, no printer and no shares were working. I stopped sharing the local folder (folder on the C: drive) and then started sharing it again, thinking that would reset McAFeee to allow this. &nbsp;No good. &nbsp;I cannot find any way to configure this McAfee, I would assume a firewall exception is needed. Please help.

Cannot share printer or local folders on network after installing McAfee Home Edition. How to fix?

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
