Adding exceptions to your McAfee security settings enables you access files and websites that are blocked by the application. You can add several types of exceptions, depending on the type of restriction you encounter. For example, if you’re using a McAfee security application such as Antivirus Plus or Internet Security, you can remove flagged files from the threat list or allow certain websites through your firewall. You can also exclude files or directories from hard drive scans. If you’re using McAfee’s Family Protection app, you can create exceptions that allow family members to access specific websites that are otherwise blocked. Warnings Writer Bio
