Jetico Personal Firewall Description
Malware can spread to your computer in many ways, not only by opening an infected file or plugging in an infected USB drive to your PC. There are also some experienced hackers who can connect to your PC or viruses who can take advantage of the vulnerabilities in your Internet connection to ‘call home’ and send your personal information, as collected via browsers. Powerful firewall protection can prevent all these from happening, and Jetico Personal Firewall can provide such protection.
Monitor and handle ongoing connections
After you install the app, you will be guided towards configuring its settings (if you are unsure about some of them, you can just leave them to their default values), then it is recommended to reboot the computer to make sure all changes are applied correctly.
The main window of software utility enables you to monitor your network traffic so you can start analyzing your Internet connections as soon as you notice a surge in activity.
Manage application permission settings

Keep potentially harmful software at bay

Only connect to trusted networks
