Why can I no longer connect to a certain website with Chrome or IE after running an update for McAfee?

Shell asks:

McAfee ran a system update and now I get the following error message while using Google Chrome:

Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to www.bevmo.com

and this one when using IE

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

I can not seem to add an exception to McAfee, Chrome or Windows. Help!
