Description:
McAfee Firewall builds a protective barrier around your computer to secure and defend it from Internet hazards such as a hacker trying to steal your private information, a Trojan horse taking control of your PC, and other risks. McAfee Firewall filters both inbound and outbound communications between your computer and the outside world.McAfee Firewall protects both dialup and direct Internet connections such as xDSL or cable modem. This ensures that no matter how you're connected to the Internet, your system remains secure. McAfee Firewall technology offers simplistic versatility without undermining security. It filters many different applications, system services, and protocols, including file and printer shares. Unlike other firewalls, you don't need to be a technical professional to use McAfee Firewall software, nor do you need to understand complex networking protocols. McAfee Firewall's rules are created based on applications. As you use a new program to connect to the Internet, McAfee Firewall will ask you whether you trust the program. If you trust the program, McAfee Firewall will allow it to communicate to the Internet. If you do not, all communications with the program will be blocked. This ensures you're kept informed of what applications are trying to access the Internet and it gives you the power to allow or deny. You can customize these rules to match your surfing habits.
