Firewall

What is a firewall?

The Firewall prevents unsolicited traffic of information from and to your computer.

Why use a firewall

Our computers today are connected to the internet 24/7. Every minute, your 'ports' are being scanned by hackers all over the world, looking to see if there is a way in.

Most Security Suites come with state-of-the-art firewall. Also, your router can function as a firewall.

NOTE: Windows XP built in firewall does not prevent outgoing traffic from possible security leaking spyware
