How can Windows XP firewall protect us

Hello There! I am more than glad to give you better understanding about Windows Firewall.

Windows Firewall is a software developed and distributed by Microsoft Corporation that will help check information from a certain network or Internet. It would either block or allow the information to pass through to your computer. This will also help prevent intruders or malicious software (example: worms) to gain certain access to your computer. It helps stop your computer from sending malicious files to other computers as well.

In some cases, people using Windows OS will think that their computers doesn’t contain any malicious files that would interest anyone, well better think again. A worm can disable/completely ruin computers or would help an individual gain access to your computer to spread worms, viruses or malicious files to other people's computer.

Since Microsoft Corporation developed the software, they know exactly how the software works. They recommend that users would use this:

When you go to Control Panel and go to Windows Firewall Settings Window, Under the General Tab, Select On (Recommended).

**If there is a need for you to allow exceptions, make sure that you only allow programs that you really know/familiar with. In addition, Firewall should be on for all network locations.

Hello SusanLittlebarg,

Windows firewall scrutinizes both data entering and getting out from the PC through the internet in real time as well as when it occurs. Then it permits or blocks entering the information in your computer. Windows firewall can facilitate blocking unauthorized data from accessing in your PC. Windows firewall also averts you from sending out apprehensive information to other PCs via the web. Windows firewall is quite different from those Antivirus softwares. But both of them in combined operate to provide protection to your PC

For setting up a firewall in your PC (having Windows XP)

• First hit the Start button
• Enter to the option Control Panel
• Then click twice icon on windows firewall
• Finally hit the radio button ON (recommended) for activating the firewall.

There are some elements with which firewall has nothing to do, such as Phishing scams, email viruses etc. That is why it is highly recommended that you may install an antivirus system that may provide protection from viruses.

Thanks,

Dear Susuan,

Thanks for asking us.

Dear windows firewall protects us very perfectly.

Firewall protects us from many viruses. It stops the access of Data thieves to our computer.

As you know that the virus can be dismissed in fire. So, Fire Wall performs the same task.

It works like a wall of fire on the way of outdoor connections.
