In the real world a "fire wall" is a fireproof wall that is built to stop the spread of fire from one part of a building to others. In the Internet world a firewall has a similar purpose in that it stops the spread of harmful viruses and attacks from entering your home or office network. Because of the ever-increasing threats that are appearing on the Internet you no longer have to be in business to need the protection of a fire wall. In fact, every computer that is connected to the internet should have one installed. You'll be a lot happier once you know that you have protected your personal files, information, and financial data, such as credit cards and bank account numbers, from being shared with every crook on the internet. Here are some questions that you should consider before you choose a fire wall for your PC:
Here are the common features that are available in almost any software-based fire wall program: Inbound filtering - protects unknown users or programs from accessing your PC Outbound filtering - Protects your PC from sending information to the Internet without your permission Application integrity verification - Verifies that any program you are running aren't sneaking around behind your back and doing things that they shouldn't be doing. Data encryption - Automatically scrambles any sensitive data that you do allow to be transmitted. Stealth mode - Hides that fact that your PC is even connected to the Internet so that hackers can't see you. Pop-up ad blocking - Stops those annoying ads. Cookie blocking - prevents web sites from sending you cookies without your permission Spyware protection - Blocks dangerous spyware from operating on your PC There are many software-based firewall programs that can be downloaded from the internet. Most of them come with free trials so you can test each one and choose what's best for you. Although you won't have to be King Geek to install and set up your firewall, there are some adjustments and settings that will have to be tweaked. All of the better firewall programs come with decent instructions and many of the products have help available at their web site. If you notice that some program that used to work stops working after you install a fire wall then you'll have to make a change in the fire wall's configuration that will enable the program to operate freely. If you find that there is no way to let your previously operating program pass through the firewall then that might be a good indication that you need to try a different fire wall. Be sure to check with the makers of both the software program and the firewall before you give up and change.

While the threat from hackers is low for individuals, a more serious threat to personal privacy comes from unscrupulous satellite television tv companies that operate websites for quick quids. Many satellite television tv sites require you to register before you can use its services. Often you must provide personal information, such as your name, street address, and e-mail address. Then as you browse the site, data is collected as to which pages you visited, how long you remained on each page, the links you clicked, what terms you searched, and so on. After a number of visits to the site, a personal profile emerges. The question is, what do satellite television tv site operators do with this information? Most claim that they use it to personalize your experience on the site. For instance, if a satellite television tv site learns that you are interested in satellite television tv, the next time you visit the site, you might be presented with an article or advertisements for that and related products. But some satellite television tv websites sell this information to marketers, which means that you may find yourself receiving unwanted catalogs from garden suppliers. Our preferred retailer does not do this. Real Time Media On The Net Index
