Webroot Desktop Firewall
-
Version
1.3
New from the makers of Spy Sweeper! Webroot Desktop
Firewall offers great two-way protection. It keeps
your data safe while also keeping hackers out! Novice
users will appreciate the easy setup of Webroot
Desktop Firewall, while experts can fine tune it to
their advanced needs using the sophisticated features
and options. Webroot Desktop Firewall acts as a data
gatekeeper for your PC, and monitors which Internet
traffic is allowed in and out. You determine which
programs on your PC can access the Internet. Through
a simple set up process, instantly authorize programs
you trust, such as your Internet and e-mail programs,
to connect to the Internet, and block any suspicious
programs that may take over your PC, like remote
Trojans, worms or zombie programs. Turn the Stealth
Mode option on to make your PC invisible to intruders
searching for vulnerable computers across the
Internet, decreasing your chances of an attack. If
you experience unexplained computer activity, use the
Internet Block option to immediately stop all
Internet traffic in and out of your PC. This "panic
button" is a quick way to protect your data until you
determine the cause of the activity. Webroot Desktop
Firewall lets you share your files and printers with
other computers on your local area network without
unnecessarily exposing your PC to online threats.
Review the Webroot Desktop Firewall log to see if
hackers have attempted to access your PC, or if
unknown programs are trying to prompt outbound
communications. If you run into trouble, our
knowledgeable support team is at your service to
provide friendly and expert help regarding setting up
and working with Webroot Desktop Firewall.
