Hey Junta, You know what many people do not know what is a firewall. They think it is a kind of antivirus. There are some who do not know that there can be someone called hackers.
So if you do not know anything about firewall. Dont worry. I will teach you in a simple manner. I will not go into technical areal. It will be ver simple.
Why do you lock your house when you go out? Why do some close doors and study?
Because we are afraid that someone might enter our house and steal our property or damage our property. Some close the doors and study because they want privacy and do not wish anyone to see what we are doing.
Hackers are like thiefs who break into our computer and steal some information or load any virus to damage it. Because of this there is no safety and privacy for our files.
So what does a Fire Wall do? It is simple. It prevents all these activities ( thats what they claim).
But understand one thing first Firewalls are not antivirus it wont tell you if your computer is infected with virus. It only blocks any intruder into your computer. and of course hackers can steal your information only when you are connected to net. That is you need to have an internet connection..i hope you understand what I mean.
NOW COMING TO NORTON PERSONAL FIREWALL
I have norton antivirus which I can update for 100 years.. yeah you read it right. I wont tell you how. Its works finw with me.
But the firewall sucks a big time. I have installed it twice or thrice and each time there is conflict between the two and Norton antivirus and Firewall crash. I get error messages. I have to reinstall the system again and again. I strongly urge you not to use Norton Firewall. Its waste of money (if you buy it ..haha). I recomment Zone Alarm which is 1000000000000000000 times better than Norton.
It is difficult to use, it does not provide any alert if someone tries to hack your computer. It is useless. And moreover, we have to update it regularly. The main reason I dont like it because it provides errors and it causes major problem in my computer.
Ok baba...nothing more to write I feeling bored, I just want to say dont use this product this is a honest feedback. Thanks!
