Most people do not work and live on the Internet, but the current Internet security is worrying. Firewalls are increasingly important for personal computers. In the XP age, the firewall software provided by WinXP only provides simple and basic functions, and can only protect inbound traffic and prevent any inbound connections not started by the local machine. By default, the firewall is disabled, therefore, we can only choose professional and reliable security software to protect our computers. Now Win7 makes up for this defect. It comprehensively improves the built-in firewall of Windows 7 and provides more powerful protection functions. Let's take a look at it. Www.2cto.com

For all network types, Windows 7 allows manual Configuration Adjustment. In addition, the Win7 system provides detailed instructions for each configuration item.
