Firewall Protection
Simply put a Firewall is a Brick Wall between you and
all the other computers on the internet,
and it will not let anyone in unless you tell it to.
A Firewall is just as important as an Anti-Virus
program because it protects your precious hard drive
and its information from intruders.
