PC-Force offers free protection for your computer against viruses and spam-emails
FIREWALL
Many computers communicate with the internet through a fast ADSL connection. They are online for hours at a time, during which hackers and viruses can harm their contents. At PC-Force, you can download a free firewall that will prevent hackers and viruses access to your pc. It works like this
1 Click and download the Kerio firewall program. |
2 Install the program by clicking on the picture in your explorer. The firewall installs quickly, after which you will probably have to restart your computer. When you start the program for the first time, you will have to provide some information.
The firewall looks for your internet connections. When it finds a connection, it asks if that connection is allowed. If the shown connection is correct, click 'OK'. |
In Windows, you will get a small icon in your taskbar, hwne the firewall is working. |
4 Every time you open a program, the firewall asks if connection with the internet through that program is allowed, or if the opened program can open other programs. You should click 'OK' if the program is some program you know and want to use.
It is best to 'Create a rule for this communication and don't ask me again'. This way, the next time you open the same program, the firewall won't ask again and will assume the program is secure.
You can always change these settings later if you want. |
| 5 If you want to change settings, double-click on the firewall-icon in the taskbar, or right-click it and select 'Configuration'. |
The firewall help-file can be downloaded for free here.
The latest version of the firewall can be freely downloaded here.
