Download Free Personal Firewall Software
If you are connected
to the
Internet in any way, you should be running firewall software. Once installed, you
will be amazed at how many attacks hit your machine looking
for mail servers, news servers and file shares. Almost every day my
computer gets attacked by someone looking for a trojan like Back Orifice or
for a simple mail server.
Lucky for us, there are programs to keep hackers at bay.
Even better, there are free firewall programs available on the
internet to download.
Note: these free
firewalls are available for personal use. These free firewalls can
also be licensed for commercial use.
