Why the Windows Firewall comes up short | |
|
||
| Time: 09:17 EST/14:17 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||
|
Dennis O'Reilly: My previous post on free alternatives to Windows' built-in utilities confused the Windows Firewall with Windows Defender, which protects against viruses. (My thanks to the folks who pointed out the error.)
The fact is, I stopped paying attention to both programs a long time ago. First, I decided security is too important to leave up to Microsoft. Second, I can do without the hassle of managing separate applications for various security tasks. To me, the time I recover repays the cost of a security suite many times over.
