| A firewall is similar to a home security system except it protects your computer from the outside world and others on the TVCC network. It filters incoming Internet traffic while allowing you to communicate with the Internet. The firewall can help protect your computer from unauthorized users accessing your system by only allowing requests you made to enter your computer. IT Services operations multiple firewalls to protect the college's network from outside intruders. However, a firewall is very important in securing your personal computer. It can help to prevent certain types of viruses from infecting your computer as well as prevent hackers from gaining access to your system. The IT Services Help Desk provides support for the Windows personal computer firewall. We do not provide support for installing or troubleshooting of 3rd party firewalls. |
