Removing McAfee Personal Firewall can distrupt your network connections.
After you uninstall McAfee Personal Firewall, one or more of the following issues may occur:
You are unable to view Web pages.
You are unable to ping URL addresses.
When you issue the ipconfig /renew command, you receive the following error message:
An error occurred while renewing interface local area connection: an operation was attempted on something that is not a socket.
This behavior occurs if you remove Personal Firewall from your computer through the Add/Remove Programs tool in the Control Panel.
