The main purpose of the firewall router, or "switch" as it's often called,=
is to mask the address of your computer from the outside. It replaces your=
computer address with a new one......and that address can't be accessed=
from the outside.

=A0 | =A0 Hi Chris
=A0 | =A0 I'm a firm believer in having all the protection I can get. A
=A0 | =A0 router does not protect you from
=A0 | =A0 programs/malware/spyware/Trojans from

=A0 | =A0 They had me uninstall my firewall. They said that the firewall

=A0 | =A0 need one on my computer. I did re-activate my windows firewall
