About McAfee Firewall
McAfee Firewall is a personal firewall that lets you monitor, control and log
your PC’s network activity. It protects you from Internet hackers and keeps
your PC private.
McAfee Firewall:
• Stops fileshare and printshare access attempts.
• Shows who is connecting (i.e., if you allow sharing)
• Stops floods and other attack packets from being received by the Operating
System.
• Blocks untrusted applications from communicating over the network.
• Detects hidden programs ("trojans") that can give remote access to your PC
or reveal private information (e.g. online banking information).
• Provides detailed information about which sites you have contacted and
the type of connection that was made
• Blocks all traffic while you are away, and your PC is connected 24 hours a
day.
