Why? I thought my firewall would protect me. So no one can see me. I do everything on this computer.
Well,...the bad guys keep coming up with new ways to get at the Windows PC’s,....what is your Firewall?
Now this is a hardware Firewall....as opposed to a software firewall...like ZONEALARM ....
A DSL modem/router is aq pretty good incoming firewall. Outsiders can’t see your computer unless you have a trojan horse pinging the outsiders.
What a firewall — hardware or software — adds is the ability to manage outgoing requests.
