You Run The Risk Of...
- Your credit card information being stolen and used for who knows what

- Someone tracking the websites you visit and other personal information while online
- The valuable - perhaps irreplacable - data on your computer being erased
Hardware firewalls are commonly used between networks ó for example between a corporate network and the Internet. The Internet is nothing more than a large set of mutually cooperating networks. Incoming traffic from the Internet is restricted to public access areas or to particular computers on the corporate network. Computers in the corporate network 'behind' the firewall access each other and the Internet.
That doesn't mean, unfortunately, that personal firewalls are invulnerable. Unlike hardware firewalls, personal firewalls are part of the computer system - they're just another program - and are just as vulnerable to virus attacks as any other. Some viruses target firewalls by modifying the policy file. If this happens your computer may become vulnerable to hackers even when you thought it was secure.
