The Internet has revolutionised the way we communicate, shop and bank, making it easier for
users to reach out to any website or individual computer, at any time. But this freedom also
comes at a price. Each unprotected connection, whether to or from the Internet, leaves your
computer vulnerable to "hacker" attacks.

financial documents, personal information, photos and online communications, by preventing
unwanted Internet connections to or from your computer. Whether you are on a home
network, broadband or dial-up connection or simply enjoying a hotspot, McAfee Personal
Firewall helps ensure your personal files and information are not compromised.
