General:
For a single Internet user who wants to keep his system secure,
a Firewall gateway is not an affordable or practical solution.
Personal Firewall provides such a solution. It implements much of the
same logic as a Firewall gateway in an affordable, easy-to-use
software package. It allows you to control access to your computer
connected to Internet, Deny/Alert/Log any incoming/outgoing connection.
