Firewall in Windows 7 as Vista or XP works almost like any other program that use. Fulfills its role by blocking the appropriate applications. The problem is that Windows is the most popular operating system in the world, and thus most of the software is available just for him. Along the trail, we can easily guess that, since most applications are written for Windows, viruses and similar software as well.

This means, therefore, that the Windows firewall, as the world’s most popular, has the most potential of software protection against its action. Therefore, I personally recommend the installation of third-party applications on the same measure. Since this software is very much on the market, decreasing the risk of attacks on their security systems. Additionally, applications available on the market are frequently updated also reduces the risk of a security breach.

Summary

Windows firewall fulfills its task correctly, but by its popularity increases the risk of attack this system, in order to circumvent its security. It is therefore recommended to install third party applications with the same effect – it reduces their risk of fracture.
