Easy to set up and simple to use, McAfee Personal Firewall Plus software denies outbound Internet access to malicious applications including spyware (which can phone home passwords, log-ins and credit card numbers), Trojans and remote-control agents while allowing trusted programs to connect without false alarm alerts. Add multi-layered Internet security to your PC by teaming your anti-virus protection with an always-on firewall. Whether you connect via broadband or dial-up, a firewall helps prevent invasions by hackers, unknown computers, identity thieves and Internet worms that can steal your personal information, plant viruses or let someone hijack your system to launch secret spam attacks.
