As a key component in security software, firewalls protect your devices specifically by doing the following: Preventing access by unauthorized users through the Internet Monitoring communication between your computer and other computers on the Internet Providing a filter that allows or blocks attempts to access the information on your computer, based on pre-set rules Warning you if another computer attempts to connect to yours Warning you if the applications on your computer attempt to connect to other computers Firewalls are one component of protection for your computer.

Specific threats that firewalls protect against include: Improper Connection Attempts - Be warned about connection attempts from other computers and of attempts by programs on your computer to connect to other computers Port Scans - Cloak the inactive ports on your computer thereby providing protection against attacks through hacking techniques such as port scanning Intrusions - Monitor the network traffic to or from your computer for suspicious behavior and stops any attack before they threaten your system A firewall protects against these types of intrusions to your computer and works in conjunction with the other layers of security to provide advanced online threat protection.
Do I have a firewall on my computer?
