McAfee Personal Firewall
McAfee distributes its firewall product in several packages including Internet
Security Suite, Personal Firewall Plus, and Desktop Firewall. Though there some
differences in the UI, they are largely the same. Like other PC firewall products,
McAfee provides both automatic and manual configuration interfaces. By
default, Personal Firewall will automatically prompt you to allow Werks.exe to
access the Internet. Follow these instructions to ensure the McAfee firewall
does not interfere with the operation of LukWerks.
ENABLE WERKS AUTOMATICALLY
When you first start Werks, McAfee Firewall will automatically provide you with a
security notice, asking you whether you what to Grant or Block Internet access.
You should always choose GRANT ACCESS when the program name is
Werks.exe.
1) Run Werks
2) Check “Remember this setting” and click the Allow button on both the “New Program” and Server
Program dialogs
ENABLE WERKS MANUALLY
In some cases, you may need to manually configure the firewall. This process is not difficult. Follow these steps
to complete the manual firewall setup:
1) Open the McAfee SecurityCenter either from the Start menu or by right clicking on the McAfee icon in
the Windows Task bar.
2) On the McAfee SecurityCenter page, click the Personal Firewall Plus tab to show the Firewall Control
Page. Next click the “View the Internet Application List” to show a list of managed programs.
