Firewalls - what do we need them for and what kind?

Good explanation of firewalls - hope you all have a good one.

I actualy use these peoples - have posted how to get it before for free - my price. :)

 

Look back if interested or can work it out. Small letters say can have free limited edition. It does the job - learns how you use the internet and then tells you if something nasty is around and needs blocking. Can be nag as everytime you do an install - asks you if you want it.But can save you money and time.

And today do be aware some free sites have all sorts of programs inside the one you want - watch and decline them. One sneaks through **anyway - seems on all C Net File Hippo and today even off of Belarc - because they get a commission if you take it so once again money trail.

** called Term Tudor and seems to give you lots of free this and that if you go take up their offers. Me I uninstalled it as nothing is free today - you pay someother way.

BTW if you want to know all about your computor - wht is on it - how up to date it is on all security get Belarc. Can then print it out and check anytime for whatever.

Also tells you if you dont use a program so maybe dont need it etc or if you have missed an update from Microsoft or have something you dont need. Java for instance often got old copies can get rid of these with Java Ra. Download it and kep it in your tools. Along with uninstall Flashplayer as sometimes old copies. But if it says copy version on say SAS - it is base that is updatd with new overwritten so keep it. Good thing to learn how to do stuff yourself and save paying a tech. Belarc.

Or you can buy apple 

I use ESET Smart Security which provides parental controls, a personal firewall, virus and spyware protection, rootkit detection and removal, spam filters, game modes and device scanning. Does the job for me.

Gerry had a look at the website and found this feature very nteresting

Apple have an APP  "Find my Phone" works across all devices. IPad, Iphone and Laptop. My DIL has found it useful once she left her phone at my house and another time left her Ipad on a plane and not in the Melbourne hotel as she first thought.

That sounds brilliant Viv

Jusst googled and they have one also available for the Android

Thanks for sharing such a great idea

I use Avast Antivirus and Super Anti Spyware

I hope it is doing the job for me ....so far so good.

The Spyware I run at least once a day as I find a lot after closing down YLC

Recently purchased MacKeeper for my Laptop which was getting very slow, made a big difference to its speed as it has cleaned everthing up. Very happy.
