You probably know that you need a firewall program to use the Internetsafely. In addition to protecting you against attacks from theInternet, a good firewall will also tell you when programs installed onyour computer are trying to phone home and enable you to prevent themfrom doing it.
This is something that Windows® own firewall doesn’t do, and it’sessential for identifying and stopping the activities of many maliciousvirus and spyware programs. For example, this enables you to preventyour computer from being turned into a “zombie” controlled by spammersor destructive hackers.
