What is a fire wall? |
|
|
| One of the method to safeguard our computers from hackers is using anti-virus. I have also heard that the other method is firewall. So whats this firewall and how to download it. Are there any other method of protecting the computers from hackers? |

Wrong place to ask this. The proper place to have placed this topic would have been the 'Webmaster newbie help' section.
Anyways though, a firewall is a computer's internet security mechanism. It protects your computer from attacks while logged onto the internet. Every computer should at least have one and must always be active!
Searched around, you could try this free firewall if you'd rather not pay for one http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/.
Most OS (Operating Systems) come built in with one though. My Vista had one come with it.
Good luck with protecting your comp! Hope this helped  |

Just wanted to add : Firewalls won't DELETE your spyware/viruses. They only protect from future attacks and possible current ones that are initiated by online means. Offline viruses which are in your software already need to be quarantined using Anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc. programs.
Good luck and stay safe! |

There are many free firewall software / freeware out there.
I use Kaspersky firewall, and it is good to block ads. |
