Hardware and/or
software designed to keep unauthorized outsiders from tampering with
a computer system or network.
That system can be a standalone
computer, a small LAN or a company-wide network or WAN with
thousands of users.
APersonal Firewall is a
software firewall
effective in protecting standalone computers and small
networks..
How do Firewalls Work?
They filter the information
coming through your internet connection into your computer system or private
network.
What is a Trojan?
A large portion of the mischief and malice done to
personal computers across the Internet is performed through Remote Access
Trojan programs, or RATs.
Trojans are programs that contain a malicious
payload. Frequently they appear to do something
constructive or
helpful. They might display a pretty animation or appear to be a
utility of some sort (a famous Trojan of several years ago was an
email client).
How do Trojans get on your computer?
You put them
there; therefore, it is very important that you exercise caution in
where you obtain software. Never take software from someone you meet
in a chat room, for example. This is the #1 place where people get
stuck with Trojans. Often people are tricked into thinking the
program they are obtaining will do something for them, like help
them play a game.
Many Trojans will do
destructive things
.
They do damage to your computer regardless of whether you are
connected to the Internet or not.
The bottom line is that if a wicked person can get you to run his
or her program, it is no longer your computer.
How can we be protected from viruses and Trojans?
Only you can protect yourself completely.
Putting
too much faith in virus scanners, firewalls and other software only
makes you less careful. Would you put on a 'bullet-proof' vest and
then never worry about walking around where people were shooting?
Always think it through.
These 5 basis steps can go a long way toward keeping you out of
trouble:
1. Never, ever open anyone's personal
floppies, CD's or memory sticks unless
youscan them first in your
anti-virus program!
2. Be fearful of any email messages from addresses (senders) that
you don't recognize.
3. Be wary of any programs you download from forums, etc.
4. Don't install bootlegged copies of someone else's software.
5. Keep your anti-virus program DAT files up to date.
Remember these key facts:
1. No firewall can
protect you from Trojans.
2. If you run a program that is a Trojan, it will get on your system
unless it is stopped by an anti-virus
programand Firewall
