With security such a big issue in computers these days, it is essential that all computer users have installed on their computer a firewall to prevent hackers gaining unlawful entry into your computer.

We recommend Comodo Firewall Pro as a firewall for your computer. Whilst we previously recommended ZoneAlarm, the free version does not support home networks, whereas Comodo Firewall Pro is free for commercial use and supports networks.

Here's how to download and install it!
