You Run The Risk Of...
- Your personal information being open to identity theft
- Your credit card information being stolen and used for who knows what
- Unknowingly installing spyware and other scumware along with other software
- Your computer may be used as a "zombie" to attack other computers
- Losing all the digital pictures you have stored on your computer
The second component, the application filter, determines whether specific programs can send and receive data through certain ports. For example, a browser needs access to the Internet, so the policy is configured to allow sending and receiving data through Port 80, the standard number.
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.
