Is A Firewall For Me?

Not just for businesses anymore. Firewalls are the technical name for either a hardware or software product that monitors and protects you from the Internet. Many Internet Service Providers offer a very mild version of a Firewall in their DSL, Cable, or other modems. This is unfortunately not a true Firewall and you are still at risk. The ability to hack into any network exists and if you have information that is personal or private the typical home network is not adequate enough.

Firewalls can also be set up to monitor and track what web sites are visited, and can also block specific web sites completely. This is useful if you have children or a home based business and want to protect or prevent inappropriate web viewing.
