You Run The Risk Of...
- Your computer may be used as a "zombie" to attack other computers
- Your credit card information being stolen and used for who knows what
- Falling victim to email phishing scams
- Someone tracking the websites you visit and other personal information while online
- Your computer may become a target for pornographic and other objectionable websites
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.
Since Internet access is riskier, it should be more strictly controlled. In this case, firewalls should be configured to restrict more types of incoming and outgoing data and close unnecessary ports. 'Ports' are standardized numbers used by network software to route traffic.
