What is a firewall?

A Firewall is a software package which monitors internet activity. If there are any abnormal activities the firewall will prevent such attacks.

In your own words explain what a firewall does

A Firewall prevents any viruses getting into your PC

Using an Internet search engine, search for 3 different firewalls. Which ones did you look at?

Comodo Firewall, PC Tools – Firewall, ZoneAlarm.

Copy the information from two of the firewalls into a Word document and save it onto your user area as firewalls.

Choose two of the firewalls. Which ones did you choose?

Comodo Firewall, PC Tools Firewall.

Compare the two firewalls, which do think is better, and why?

I believe Comodo Firewall is better because it has the option of having an free internet security suit. It also has very good detection rate from personal experience.
