    Windows Media Player 11 and McAfee Firewall

    Dear all,



    at the moment I can only get the albuminformation, if I deactivate the McAfee Firewall, which is surely not a solution.

    Message:
    "Diese Programm kann die Website nicht anzeigen."




    Does somebody has an idea which rule I have to add?

    Thank you in advance

    Josef

    Make a system restore point. Uninstall Mcafee and download and try security essentials. Very few problems with Security Essentials.

    Essentials is the AV of choice at the forum.

    Dear all,

    I found found a more detailed solution.

    1. Remove the permissions of the Windows Media Player from Program List of the Firewall.
    2. Restart the Windows Media Player.

    Sincerly Josef
