Many people are very confused about Windows 8 firewall, they do not know whether they should open or disable it. This article shows you Windows 8 Firewall best solution.

Most people thought Windows 8 firewall would make their computer safer. Surely it is. However, how safe it increases computer security? For Example, without any security software in your computer, the point is 100. And once you open Windows 8 firewall, the secure point may increase to 110. Very slight increasing. Meanwhile, Windows 8 firewall takes many computer resources to run this application. The result is giving too much, gain too little.

So what I recommend is to disable Windows 8 firewall. The place to disable Windows 8 firewall is: "Control Panel" - "Windows Firewall" - "Turn Windows Firewall on or off"(this option is located at left navigation)

Turn off all kinds of Windows 8 built-in firewall.

Why we don't need Windows Windows 8 Firewall?

Windows 8 firewall is used for protecting your computer from attacking that comes from outside, which means it may stop the attack of hackers. How many of you once meet hackers? Is there any critical documents in your computer for business or country?

If you have no critical documents in your computer for business or country, why will hackers attack your computer, for your money, or kinds of accounts? No, they have no such time to attack your single computer. Even if they want to steal accounts and money from computers, they will attack a large number of computer at same time. By which way to attack? This is a good question.

The easiest way for them to steal your money and accounts is to plant Trojan into your computer. They will bind Trojan with other software or applications, making a website for downloading. Yes, exactly. There are quite a lot software download sites which have software with Trojan. Here I recommend you to download software through famous download sites, like download.com, majorgeeks, softpedia, etc.

So now that you know they use Trojan to do something bad, then you will know that Windows 8 firewall is useless to protect you from Trojan. What you need is an anti-virus software.

There are many good antivirus software on the market, most of them are free, like AVG, Avast, etc. Choose one if you like.

So what I recommend you to turn off Windows 8 firewall.

Many people active the built in firewall in Windows 8. However, here I recommend you to turn it off, cause it is useless for home computers, and it takes computer resources when it is active.

Firewall can't protect your computer from being attacked by virus or Trojans. It is the protection of your computer from being attacked by attacks from outside of your computer, which means when a hacker attacks you, the firewall may prevent those attacks outside. However, what's the ratio that a hacker will attack your computer? Nearly 0%. What's more, the attacks from virus or Trojan are inside attack. When you download the virus or Trojan, they don't attack you before you run them.

You are unknown to hackers, and your computer resources is useless, cause your computer is unstable(You start and turn off computer regularly.) What a hacker want is a stable server which runs 7x24 hours. Remember that a server is the target of hacker, instead of home computer.

BTW, Windows 8 firewall is weak. Hackers know it very well. If you need a firewall to protect you from hacker, I strongly recommend you to use a professional firewall on the market, like Comodo Firewall, or something like that.

So just turn off your built-in firewall of Windows 8, you may enjoy more computer resources and faster network speed.

Back in June, leaked slides (dating from April 2010) reference “Windows 8,” not “Windows v.Next” (the Windows client team’s preferred codename these days).

They indicate that the next version of Windows, which is expected by many to ship in 2012, will possibly offer some of these features:

* Fast startup (Huzzah!): A new feature combining Logoff and Hibernate to result will give the look and feel of boot/shutdown be faster
* Slates mentioned specifically as a target form factor: It will be interesting to see how Microsoft distinguishes between slates running Windows Embedded Compact and slates running Windows 8
* Push-button reset: A button “that will essentially reinstall Windows while maintaining all of your personal files, applications, settings, etc. without the need for the user to back all of that stuff up,” as Stephen Chapman of Microsoft Kitchen describes it
* Support for facial recognition as one of the ways identity management/log in will be handled
* IE 9 (no surprise there): With another confirmation of August as being the target for the first beta
