The Windows Firewall
The Windows Firewall protect your client further. The Windows Firewall allows you to restrict incoming data
to your client from other computers, thus helping to control your client data more effectively. In addition, it
also provides a barrier between your client and network connections reducing unauthorized access, viruses,
and worms across networks.
You can think of a firewall as a sentinel which identifies incoming data from the Internet and other networks.
According to the firewall settings, incoming data to your computer is either permitted or rejected.
The Windows Firewall is, by default, installed and activated on your client. However, your administrator can
turn it off. You can choose and select a different firewall. Therefore, it is not required for you to use the
Windows Firewall. Estimate the functions of other firewalls and choose the best one to fit your
requirements. To install and run a different firewall, you must turn off the Windows Firewall.
You must be logged on as administrator to turn the Windows Firewall on or off. Follow these steps to turn
the Windows Firewall on or off.
1. Run the Windows Firewall.
2. Click on one of these options under the General tab.
