PC Protection Guide – Best Free Firewall

Firewall is software that monitors the ingoing and outgoing traffic from your PC. It’s a crucial component in protecting you from online threats. People usually installed anti-virus, anti-spyware but often they forgot to install it.

In my opinion, it is a slightly advance protection software and can cause some headache for those who don’t know anything about computer. I would suggest you to read a few things about this software first before actually using it. It’s because you’re going to need to know about the processes going in or out from your PC.

In this article, I will share with you two best free firewalls available on the internet for you to download. The first software is Comodo Firewall Pro.

I use it personally and to be honest, I like it. But you need some knowledge on which processes to allow access and which to deny and if you don’t have the necessary knowledge, you might allow the malicious process access into your PC.

If you would like to know which process is malicious, you can do so by searching it on Google. This way, if the process is malicious, you will know about it immediately and then you can deny the access.

The next software is ZoneAlarm. I didn’t use it because I already use the Comodo Firewall Pro. I don’t think you need two firewalls in one PC. Even though I didn’t use this software, it actually gets good reviews among the PC users.

In fact, in order for you to know if your firewall is reliable or not, you can download simple software that will test it. It’s called the Leaktest and don’t worry about this software because it’s not malicious and it’s safe. I used it previously to test mine and it passed.

Surprisingly, there are few firewalls out there that didn’t pass this LeakTest. So, test your firewall first after installing it to make sure it’s good enough to block any access into and going out your PC.

But, having the best firewall in the world is no use if you don’t know how to use it. So, learn more and apply it.
