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.
