What is the best way to set up firewall protection for my computer?
Using firewall protection is an important way to protect your computer from security threats that may occur when your
computer is connected to the Internet. Your computer's preinstalled Microsoft
®
Windows
®
operating system has a built-in
Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) feature that you can use to protect your computer.
Using the ICF feature may interrupt the file and print sharing features for preinstalled networking software programs, such
as VAIO Media software. As an alternative, Sony suggests installing a router as a hardware-based firewall solution. A
router box protects your computer and allows your network to run without interruption.
To disable the ICF feature
1.
Click Start in the Windows
®
taskbar, and then click Control Panel .
2. Click Network and Internet Connections .
3. Click Network Connections .
4.
In the section, LAN or High-Speed Internet , right-click the icon of the connection you want to protect.
A shortcut menu appears.
5.
Select Properties from the shortcut menu.
6.
On the Advanced tab, under Internet Connection Firewall , clear the check box for Protect my computer and
network by limiting or preventing access to the computer from the Internet .
7. Click OK to disable the ICF feature.
