Firewall

With broadband now the main connection to the Internet for many users, any computer, whether a single home computer or a corporate network, should be protected by a Firewall.

A Firewall is a way to stop unwanted and unauthorised access into your computer over the Internet.

This may be hardware or software solution, but with broadband being an 'always on' connection something is needed to stop unwanted and illegal entry into your computer by hackers, Worms or Spyware. Often access is gained by 'Worms' that are received in emails. With a Firewall and up to date Anti Virus software you will be protected.

Statistics show that a computer connecting to the Internet without a firewall can be attacked and possibly infected with a 'Worm' within as little as four minutes.

With any business network a Firewall is a 'must have'. Cost can be from a few pounds upwards depending on the level of protection your type of business needs.

For the home user there are effective free solutions that are easy to use and administer, even if you still are on a dial up Internet you should have a Firewall to ensure you are totally protected (along with Anti Virus software).

Whether a home user or a business, Just Think I.T. can advise on the right solution for you.
