Firewall recommendations

by macewan on May 4, 2008

A Personal Firewall Protects You From Harm

Every person with a computer that connects to the internet should have a personal firewall. Believe it or not there are people all over the world who would like to get into your computer. They would especially like to get into your computer if you buy items on line or you do banking chores online. A personal firewall can protect your identity, your credit cards and your accounts. A personal firewall is basically unseen by most human eyes that use the computer internet, but a personal firewall works in the background protecting you from the unseen thieves trying to make a fortune from people who do not have an effective personal firewall.

A personal firewall works in the background on the computer monitoring and rejecting any unwanted intrusion into your computer. A personal firewall often comes with your computer, but each person using their computer on the internet should make sure that they have a personal firewall and that it is working. Some personal firewalls need to be configured and turned on. These should be left running at all times unless they are disabled for a very specific reason.

A Personal Firewall Stands Between You And Thieves

Many people have set up devices on their computers so they can accomplish many tasks without leaving their own computer. People can set up facilities so their bank accounts are available online at any time of the day or night. The person with the account can check their balances, transfer funds and pay bills with a couple clicks of their mouse. People can order all of their birthday presents, send flowers to their mother and a card to their boss without leaving their comfortable home office. People set up these facilities to make their lives easier and more efficiently run. However, they must have a personal firewall so someone else does not order flowers for their mother with your credit card.

If your computer does not have a firewall program that comes with it, make sure that you buy a program that performs this function. The people looking for other people’s credit cards so they can send their mother some flowers might use yours if you do not have an effective firewall program. Once the program is installed and working, you should not have any problems, but you should check and update this program periodically because the thieves are always looking for new ways to use your credit card. In the event someone does get through and uses your computer contact the computer forensic experts right away!

by macewan on April 12, 2008

ReadWriteWeb pointed me to Google’s latest project the Google App Engine. So what is the Google App Engine? Basically it handles the backend *think L.A.M.P.* of your webapp project. You heard it here first - is Google planning to purchase WordPress?

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “google_appengine/dev_appserver.py”, line 50, in <module>
execfile(script_path, globals())
File “/home/macewan/Desktop/Google App Engine/google_appengine/google/appengine/tools/dev_appserver_main.py”, line 338, in <module>
