We all know that we should have a good up to date anti-virus program running. We all know that Windows has a firewall built into all recent releases. But how good is your protection?

If you wish to purchase protection for your PC you will probably finish up with a security suite. This will include an anti-virus program and a firewall.
It is important that you do not rely on the firewall that came with Windows, because it only offers half the protection you require.

To protect yourself from other "net-citizens", and perhaps more importantly to protect "net-citizens" from yourself it is necessary to install and configure anti-virus and a good firewall to stop stuff getting out, as well as getting in.

The best anti-virus program cannot always protect you, after all, if you choose to ignore the warning and run that program anyway, or click on that link to find out what it does, sooner or later you'll get a trojan. A little program that could do many things, but more often than not, it simply wants to run and send information out to anyone who will listen. This information may be about you or it could just be spam - or it may be more sinister and take part in a coordinated attack on an individual or business (a Denial Of Service attack)

A simple firewall (like the free zone alarm or comodo) will pop up a box and ask you about any program that wants to run the first time. It is a simple matter to allow it once, everytime, or never. You will have protected your operating system, and you will have stopped it spreading to others via your computer.
