I would not recommend putting McAfee back on.

1421580 2016-06-10 05:23:00 So just as I think I've fixed the problem by getting rid of McAfee, another problem comes. My wifi stops picking up all signals including hotspot from my cellphone. So I disable driver and re-enable. Now picks up signal and works fine with hotspot but just won't connect to home network again. As last resort, I disable Windows Firewall and everything is working again.

Does everyone have to disable firewall to get their internet working - surely there must be a work-around? Cheers
