Software & Hardware Firewalls
Computer Firewalls
software or hardware protect your computer against unauthorized access.
They also prevent rogue programs from gaining access to the internet. In
addition to Antivirus and Privacy software, a Firewall is part of total
system security.
They also
log attempts to access your computer, providing important information,
such as date/time, IP address of intruder and method of attack. This
information will aid in the identification of the intruder.
You might ask, what
interest would a hacker have with my computer? The answer is simple, if
they can access your computer, then they can install programs that do
anything from send junk mail (spam) or worse, cause your computer to
attack another computer (commonly called a DoS attack).
We recommend PC Security Shield Firewall
for all beginner/novice users because of it's low cost and easy to
understand setup. If you are looking for a more
Advanced Firewall option,
we have those too!
By using a firewall, when properly configured it
greatly reduces your exposure to hackers, crackers, worms, trojans
and phishing (fraud) websites
online.
Feel free
to ask US
for help. If you use any of these products, you should check out the
"Add-on Software" section below. These tools are
designed to make using your firewall much more effective by
automatically reporting intruders/hackers for you.
