Internet Connection Firewall

The Internet Connection Firewall provides basic protection from unauthorized access to the computer
while the computer is connected to the Internet. The firewall is automatically enabled when you run the
Network Setup Wizard. When the firewall is enabled for a network connection, the firewall icon appears
with a red background in the Network Connections section of the Control Panel.
Note that enabling the Internet Connection Firewall does not reduce the need for virus-checking
software.
For more information, see the Help and Support Center for the Microsoft
system. To access the Help and Support Center, see "Windows Help and Support Center" on page 13.
