How to Protect Yourself from
Hackers
A. If you have Firewall software
that is less than a year old, then go over the Firewall
Checklist.
B. If you're Firewall software is a year
old or if you don't have Firewall software, you can buy
Firewall software using the links below. If you are
unsure as to which to purchase, it might help to know that
I prefer the Norton /Symantec products:
NOTE: After Installation review the
Firewall
Checklist.
NOTE:
After installing a software firewall you might not be able to connect to the Internet. This is because your internet software wasn’t granted
access through the firewall, so you must grant access to these applications.
C. If you have a high-speed connection (dsl,
adsl, or cable) then you would be wise to invest in a
hardware firewall. Similar to the software firewall, the
hardware firewall will also be ready to go right out of
the box. I personally use a Linksys firewall, but Netgear
also makes a solid product.
