The Windows Firewall
The Windows Firewall protects your client further. The Windows Firewall allows you to restrict incoming data to your client from other computers, thus helping to control your client data more effectively. In addition, it also provides a barrier between your client and network connections reducing unauthorized access, viruses, and worms across networks.
You can think of a firewall as a sentinel which identifies incoming data from the Internet and other networks. According to the firewall settings, incoming data to your computer is either permitted or rejected.
The Windows Firewall is, by default, installed and activated on your client. However, your administrator can turn it off. You can choose and select a different firewall. Therefore, it is not required for you to use the Windows Firewall. Estimate the functions of other firewalls and choose the best one to fit your requirements. To install and run a different firewall, you must turn off the Windows Firewall.
