Why is Windows firewall insecure?

According to foreign media reports, why is Windows Firewall not safe enough? Let's listen to answers from industry insiders.

My previous work was about the Windows built-in firewall, mainly to enhance the firewall's defense function so that it can prevent virus attacks.

In fact, I have always been very concerned about the firewall field. First, I think security is very important for Windows, and secondly, it is difficult for individuals to cope with all security threats. Even if you use the anti-virus package, network security cannot be guaranteed, firewall is the basis for ensuring network security.

So what are the Windows Firewall vulnerabilities? In the default settings, it cannot detect the problem of the website link, which will make the Windows system insecure, and this problem is not only found in the XP system. To solve this problem, you need to select a higher security setting in the Windows Firewall settings of the security center. In XP, you can find it in the control panel. In Vista, you can press Windows, enter wf. msc, and press enter to improve firewall security.

To ensure security, we recommend that you use third-party firewalls because they are more professional and many are free of charge. We compared the firewalls of different versions of XP and Vista with those of ZoneAlarm and Outpost, and found that the latter is more advantageous.

In the ranking of third-party firewalls, Matousec firewall is the most popular among them. Its rating is "very good", and the other seven firewalls are "good ", some of these firewalls are completely free of charge, and their protection effects are very good.

Therefore, in order to make the network more secure and easy to operate, we recommend that you use third-party firewalls because they appear earlier and more professional.
