How secure is your computer? Have you installed the latest patches and updates for Windows? To be able to use the internet without fear that a website will infect your computer is important – not only for the user himself but also for other computers on the same network.

With the growing use of internet, computer threats have also increased.

One way to protect yourself is by installing a firewall, which prevents intruders accessing your computer and your vital data.

A firewall can also alert you when spyware programs attempt to transmit your sensitive information over the internet.

Firewalls are crucial especially if your computer is always connected to the internet through a DSL internet connection or a modem cable.
