a Firewall on Your Computer
A
firewall is simply a piece of hardware and/or software on
your computer which prevents someone (i.e., a person, company,
software program, adware program, virus, trojan, etc.) from
accessing your computer without your permission! Firewalls
act as "security walls" prenting unauthorized
entities from accessing protected areas of your computer.
Without a firewall, your personal and private information
could be at risk from being accessed, stolen and then who
knows what! Yikes!
