What is a Firewall ?

 

All you need to know about Firewall

Firewall is a way to keep the computer safe. When we connect our computer to the network, the firewall protects all kinds of computers and networks from hackers and malware. Firewall prevents our computer from entering all kinds of unknown data.

Whenever we download any applications in our PC and if there is any type of malware in that, then firewall automatically prevents that application from being downloaded, the reason behind this is, if these applications are downloaded in our computer then it will send the entire detail of our computer secretly to the hacker, Who has created this software and along with it slowly starts slowing down the computer and opens a door, due to which many types of viruses, malwares start coming into the computer and the software starts installing itself automatically, that's why we have to use firewall.

Firewall is a kind of security scheme which either stays in the form of software or in the form of hardware, One of the best things about firewall is that, It only allows downloading of the things allowed by users to protect our PC's from malwares and viruses.
