It is an amazing world, the internet. People roam here for fun, perform business, shop online and also get attacked sometimes just like the real world. But still there is gap in the thinking; people are not able to take this as a real world. The problem on the internet is that people are really unaware of the problems that can happen while they are online. They think that nobody will come out of the computer screen after all. Thus many a times people tend to neglect the dangers of this world. They do not worry about the security of their PCS while using the internet.

Firewalls are software programs that are specifically designed to safeguard your computer from foreign attacks. They are used to keep the track of the incoming users and the outgoing packets from your computer. You might be amazed how a firewall can understand that this is the same users who have visited or is he a new comer. Does firewall know the name of the person using the computer? But in that case there can be so many persons with a common name. Like, you can many persons with the name Jones connected to your network. If not names, then how?

Firewalls are an important weapon to have in your armory to fight against unauthorized attacks that internet has to offer. But ironically, there are people, who are confused about the fact, that whether firewall is necessary or not. There might be various reasons behind the thought of not having a firewall. People are either unaware about the working of the firewall. They don’t actually understand how it happens and can someone protect their computer. Other fact is that people are so worried or troubled by the internet hacking that they are not ready to trust any external source for protecting their computer, for them, it can be a virus itself.
