A ‘firewall’ in cyberspace is very much like a firewall in the real world. It’s what saves you from destruction when the flames run wild.
With hacker attacks, data theft and privacy violations rampant on the Internet, you need to safeguard your PC with Free Firewall Software as though it was under constant threat – which it is!
A PC without a firewall has about as much chance of survival these days as that extra crewman on a Star Trek away team!
Free Firewall Software will immediately hide your computer identity from hackers, stop hacker attacks automatically, block private data from being transmitted, prevent mass-mail worm and virus infections, Trojans, spyware, remove pop-up ads, and more.
Much of the Free Firewall Software available two or three years ago has gone to a license of subscription plan (often at reasonable rates). But ZoneAlarm and TinyPersonal Free Firewall Software is still available as are many more you’ll find in any search engine.
Often Free Firewall Software is offered for a limited period of one month only in the hope that you’ll sign up for an annual contract. Try a few, month by month, until you settle on the best deal if you find it difficult the secure Free Firewall Software over the long term. But permanent Free Firewall Software is still available if you look hard enough.
