- If you are using a broadband connection to the Internet, you
should consider the use of a good firewall product mandatory.
A firewall is software that puts up a barrier between your PC
and Internet. It tells you when applications on your computer
are trying to access the Internet and vise versa. If you are using
Windows XP or 2000, the latest service pack update includes
a built in firewall.
If you want a stronger firewall, or using a computer that does
not have Windows XP or 2000 installed, you should consider
getting a third-party firewall package. Using the links, you
can easily download and install a quality firewall to keep your
PC safe.
