Hackers routinely scan computer networks looking for open 'ports' (numbers used by network software to distinguish traffic) through which they can gain access to your computer. Ports are individual entry connection points between the computer and the Internet. If a hacker can find an open port, it can be used to transmit a worm carrying a payload which can give the hacker control over your computer. Firewalls can close all unused ports.
Your antivirus program will typically be able to detect an infected module, but a brand new virus which is not yet in the antivirus database could remain hidden. If this happens to your web browser and your personal firewall is allowing traffic to pass based on the application filter, your system is open to attack.
