Run Firewall Protection Software — Using a computer without a firewall is like going on vacation and leaving the front door to your home wide open. A firewall creates a protective barrier between your computer and the Internet, essentially making your connection invisible to Internet hackers. A firewall keeps others from seeing that important confidential information. This barrier helps prevent others from being able to intrude into your computer or home network and retrieve important information like credit card numbers or passwords.
