Personaltechpipeline.com Review: Five PC Firewalls

It's amazing to think there was once a time when the idea of a firewall for one's desktop computer was thought of as overkill, if not downright ridiculous. Now it's practically mandatory -- not just to protect your computer from outside threats, but to keep Trojans and e-mail viruses from hijacking your system from within.

I can remember when providing tech support for connection issues involved asking the question "Are you behind a firewall or router? If you don't know what that is, then you are not."
