  It's possible that your McAfee firewall is blocking the connection to the cryptocurrency trading platform. McAfee has a built-in feature that automatically blocks suspicious or potentially harmful connections. To resolve this issue, you can try adding the trading platform to the firewall's whitelist or temporarily disabling the firewall while trading. However, keep in mind that disabling the firewall can expose your computer to potential security risks, so make sure to re-enable it once you're done trading.

  I had a similar issue with my McAfee firewall when trying to trade cryptocurrencies. It turned out that the firewall was detecting the trading platform as a potential threat due to the high network traffic associated with cryptocurrency trading. To fix this, I adjusted the firewall settings to allow the necessary network traffic for trading. You can try doing the same by accessing the firewall settings and creating a rule to allow the trading platform's traffic.

  I understand how frustrating it can be when your McAfee firewall keeps turning off while trading cryptocurrencies. This issue might occur due to the firewall's settings conflicting with the trading platform's network requirements. One possible solution is to contact the customer support of both McAfee and the trading platform to seek assistance. They might be able to provide specific instructions or settings adjustments to resolve the issue. Additionally, you can consider using alternative antivirus or firewall software that is known to be compatible with cryptocurrency trading platforms.
