There are of two types of firewalls: a software firewall and hardware firewall. Each serves similar, but different purposes. A <a title=\"firewall\" href=\"https:\/\/personalfirewall.comodo.com\/what-is-firewall.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">firewall<\/a> is the first step to provide security to the computer. It creates a barrier between the computer and any unauthorized program trying to come in through the Internet. If you are using a system at home, turn on the firewall permanently. It makes you aware if there are any unauthorized efforts to use your system.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/secure.nurd.com\/home\/purchase.php?pid=109&amp;track=17287&amp;af=17287\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n<!--<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8604\" src=\"https:\/\/antivirus.comodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/complete-antivirus.png\" alt=\"comodo antivirus\" width=\"650\" height=\"83\" \/>--><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8604\" src=\"https:\/\/antivirus.comodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Banner-5.png\" alt=\"comodo antivirus\" width=\"650\" height=\"83\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Install Antivirus Software:<\/h2>\n<p><a title=\"Free Antivirus\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comodo.com\/home\/internet-security\/antivirus.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Antivirus<\/strong><\/a> is one other means to protect the computer. It is software that helps to protect the computer from any unauthorized code or software that creates a threat to the system. Unauthorized software includes viruses, keyloggers, trojans etc. This might slow down the processing speed of your computer, delete important files and access personal information. Even if your system is virus free, you must install an antivirus software to prevent the system from further attack of virus.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/antivirus.comodo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Antivirus software<\/a> plays a major role in real time protection, its added advantage of detecting threats helps computer and the information in it to be safe. Some advanced antivirus programs provide automatic updates, this further helps to protect the PC from newly created viruses.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/antivirus.comodo.com\/antivirus-for-windows-8\/\">Antivirus for Windows 8<\/a> software may include advanced features such as email protection, blocking of pop-ups and identity theft.<\/p>\n<h2>Install Anti-Spyware Software:<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-64\" style=\"float: right; margin-left: 20px; margin-bottom: 25;\" src=\"https:\/\/antivirus.comodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/spy.png\" alt=\"spy\" width=\"150\" height=\"100\" \/>Spyware is a software program that collects personal information or information about an organization without their approval. This information is redirected to a third party website. Spyware are designed in such a way that they are not easy to be removed. Anti-Spyware software is solely dedicated to combat spyware. Similar to antivirus software, anti-spyware software offers real time protection. It scans all the incoming information and helps in blocking the threat once detected.Comodo Antivirus comes with spyware protection built in.<\/p>\n<h2>Use Complex and Secure Passwords:<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-69\" style=\"float: right; margin-left: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px;\" src=\"https:\/\/antivirus.comodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/password.jpg\" alt=\"password\" width=\"150\" \/>The first line of defence in maintaining system security is to have strong and complex passwords. Complex passwords are difficult for the hackers to find. Use a password that is at least 8 characters in length and include a combination of numbers, letters that are both upper and lower case and a special character. Hackers use certain tools to break easy passwords in few minutes. One recent study showed that a 6 character password with all lower case letters can be broken in under 6 minutes!<\/p>\n<h2>Check on the Security Settings of the Browser:<\/h2>\n<p>Browsers have various security and privacy settings that you should review and set to the level you desire. Recent browsers give you ability to tell web sites to not track your movements, increasing your privacy and security.<\/p>\n<p>Keep your PC protected from hackers with Comodo Antivirus. <a
