Installation of anti-virus software and firewalls

A firewall is an important component of modern antivirus programs, designed to protect a computer or network from external network attacks. It acts as a barrier between your system and the Internet, controlling and filtering incoming and outgoing network traffic.
How does Firewall work? The firewall monitors the huge amount of data transmitted through the computer and network, and makes decisions about blocking or allowing the transfer of data and specific network packets. It analyzes packet types, ports and addresses, detecting suspicious or potentially dangerous connections.
Why is it important to have a Firewall? A firewall is an integral part of modern protection against network attacks. Without it, your computer or network may become vulnerable to various types of attacks, such as port scanning, hacking, or malware distribution.
To begin with, it is important to understand that installing more than one antivirus on a computer can lead to unstable operation of the system and the need to reinstall Windows. Under no circumstances should you install two or more, each of them fights for its sole existence in the computer system, and defines the others as a malicious program. Choosing the best antivirus program Which is better? How to choose an antivirus? Which one should I finally settle on? The simplest solution is to find among the many proposals the one that suits you, in a practical way, by testing it at work. Thus, one by one, removing the previous antivirus, you can test the work of all the others and then decide which one to choose. To choose the right antivirus, the power of your computer also plays a role. If your computer is weak, it is better to try antiviruses with low RAM consumption so as not to load the system. If your computer is constantly connected to the Internet, you must choose an antivirus that contains a firewall that protects against pop-up windows and access to malicious sites.
