Firewalls are important barriers between you and malicious content that you may encounter on the internet. While browsing the web without a firewall is not a world-ending activity, there are many reasons why you should try to surround yourself with a strong wall that will prevent viruses and malware from landing on your machine. There are several crucial functions that a firewall usually performs:
– Controlling all applications that can access the internet;
– Protects your machine from remote access (hackers);
– Filters the incoming traffic to destroy threats before they infect the PC.
Below are the top 10 programs that we consider some of the finest for Windows.
