What do Firewall Blocking Messages Mean?
Firewalls block certain types of communications between network devices. This helps protect your
data from hackers, viruses, spyware, and Trojan horse software. The computer might have one or
more firewall programs installed. For example, if the latest version of the Microsoft Windows XP
operating system is installed, the computer may be using the Windows XP Firewall.
