Computer Firewall

Computer firewall is an OS based software designed to control the access to unauthorized content on a network or a computer system. It works with predefined set of rules, according to which it decides whether to block or allow access.

This firewall technology was found in the 1980s, when internet itself had not reached the people widely. Routers were used to separate network accessibility and the demand for network security was not necessary.

Windows firewall is an application offered for free with the purchase of Windows OS.
 
Since the function of the firewall is based on the set of rules, it can often become worthless, if not configured properly. Optimized analysis has to be done on a computer followed by changes in the settings for complete protection.
 
The functions of a Computer firewall are classified into three generation sets. All three functions are necessary to provide online and offline support. These generation sets control the installation, copying and sharing of a file.
