The firewall in McAfee has numerous options for you to pick from. You can pick to lock down your computer, go in stealth mode (this will hide you from other computers),  you can set it up to where any program that wants access to your computer will have to be approved by you, or just set it up for basic usage. The virus scanner does a variety things as well. It can do a basic scan or if you leave your computer on for hours without usage, you can set it up to where it will deep scan every file on your computer. The scheduling system system is ideal for this usage. The quarantine is very strong for holding those bad bugs, but like every bug , it is best to get rid of it by exporting it to a disc. The McAfee file shredder is for permanently deleting a file. With using this to delete a file or even emptying your recycle bin is the best route to go. Think twice though before deletion for those files will never come back.
