What is a Personal Firewall?
A personal firewall protects users from internet threats by implementing security policies that restrict network communications in and out of a computer. A personal firewall is extremely important for computers with a static IP address or one with a stable IP address, such as with cable modems or DSL.
For example, a Personal firewall is important when,
You surf the internet at home using an 'always on' broadband connection
You connect to the internet via a public WiFi network in a park, cafe or airport
You run a home network which needs to be kept isolated from the internet
You wish to be kept informed when any program on your computer attempts to connect to the internet
Most Personal Firewalls are highly configurable so you can easily create security policies to suit your individual needs.

A firewall is a software utility or hardware device that acts as a filter for data entering or leaving a network or computer. You could think of a firewall as a security guard that decides who enters or exits a building. A firewall works by blocking or restricting network ports. Firewalls are commonly used to help prevent unauthorized access to both company and home networks.

Firewalls carefully analyze incoming traffic based on pre-established rules and filter traffic coming from unsecured or suspicious sources to prevent attacks. Firewalls guard traffic at a computer’s entry point, called ports, which is where information is exchanged with external devices.

A firewall is a security device — computer hardware or software — that can help protect your network by filtering traffic and blocking outsiders from gaining unauthorized access to the private data on your computer. The key is determining how much protection you need.
