Perfectly Set Up Your Windows Firewall to Protect Your System from Outside Attacks
Without a firewall your PC is completely unprotected while you are surfing the Web, and hackers can access open ports on your system at will. At worst they will manage to get access to your system and steal your data, or install a Trojan or other malware infection that spies on everything you type at your keyboard. It is absolutely essential that you get your firewall fully configured as soon as possible. What’s more, you can’t just leave Windows to apply its default settings. You need to manually configure the firewall so that only those applications that definitely need Internet access are allowed to pass through the firewall. By doing so you will be able to finely control which applications are able to access the Internet and which are not, blocking out potential malware. In this article, read how to fully protect your PC with a correctly configured firewall.
