Thanks Al,
Unfortunately SuperAntiSpyware doesn't include a firewall so if your not using any other antivirus product or standalone firewall then you'll be using Windows Firewall yourself.
For those that don't know what a firewall is
*, it's basically a piece of software that intercepts communications between your computer and the internet and determines if that communication is allowed in (or out) or not. Everybody that's running Windows will be running a firewall of some sort, unless they have turned it off deliberately.
If you don't know what firewall your running, this is a very basic way to figure it out.
- If you not running any antivirus product and have not installed a stand alone firewall, you'll be running Windows Firewall.
- If you are running an antivirus product that includes "Internet security" or Total security" or "Total protection" or words to that effect as part of it's name, your firewall is most likely part of that antivirus product.
- If you are running an antivirus product that does not include "Internet security" or Total security" or "Total protection" or words to that effect as part of it's name, your firewall is most likely Windows Firewall.
*Your router likely includes a basic firewall as well. This is not what's being asked for.
