Firewalls & Internet Security

Firewalls basically control the traffic between your pc and different networks also reffered to as "zones of trust". For example the Internet is a zone with no trust and a home network is a zone with high trust.

someone trying to install something on your PC) and more importantly, data sent to the internet (ie: is it the data you want to send, or is it a program installed on your PC that is sending these informations away without your consent).

ZoneAlarm
