Security Firewall Software When you use the computer for e-mail, network, or Internet access, it is possible for unauthorized persons to obtain information about you, your computer, and your information. To protect your privacy, it is recommended that you use firewall software. Firewalls monitor all incoming and outgoing traffic on your computer by including features such as logging and reporting, automatic alarms, and user interfaces for configuring the firewall. Your computer comes with preinstalled firewall software. Refer to the firewall user guides or contact the firewall manufacturer. ✎ Under some circumstances a firewall can block access to Internet games, interfere with printer or file sharing on a network, or block authorized e-mail attachments. To temporarily solve the problem, disable the firewall, perform the task that you want to perform, and then reenable the firewall. To permanently resolve the problem, reconfigure the firewall.
