Propel Support Macafee Personal Firewall Plus

When you first download and install Propel Accelerator, you will get a security warning from McAfee Personal Firewall in a red window entitled, "Application wants to Access the Internet". "The program PropelAC.exe is requesting to access the Internet. Do you want to allow it?" In the section below, the option, "I want to ..." gives the choices of:

"Grant Access"
"Block All Access".
Select "Grant Access". If you choose "Block All Access" you will not see the Propel Accelerator icon appear and your cursor will display an hourglass flashing on and off. You will still be able to connect to the Internet and access menus; however, you will be unable to browse any web sites. You will need to manually configure access to Propel Accelerator. To do this, perform the following steps:

1. Right click on the McAfee Security Center icon and choose "Personal
    Firewall" from the menu.
2. Choose "View Applications" from the sub-menu.
3. In the list of applications, select "PropelAC.exe".
4. Under "Change Permission to..." Click on "Allow Full Access".
5. Close the McAfee Security Center window.
6. Important! Restart Propel Accelerator. Go to Start> Programs> Propel
    Accelerator and choose "Start Propel Accelerator".
7. Now try browsing to a few different web sites and you should be successful.
    Once you are able to browse the Internet using MS Internet Explorer, go to
    the Start> Programs> Propel Accelerator and choose "Start Propel
    Accelerator". You will now see the Propel Accelerator icon near your
    system clock. Try browsing to different web sites and you should see the
    arrows moving back and forth on the Propel Acceleration icon indicating
    acceleration.
