A computer without a firewall is easy prey for hackers, worms, remote access Trojans and other online threats. Anti-spyware and virus protection are only a part of any security solution. A firewall is a critical component, and Webroot Desktop Firewall secures your computer from Internet threats and reduces the risks of being a victim of online crimes.

Designed for novices and experts alike, Webroot Desktop Firewall is the gatekeeper to your PC.

• Monitors Internet traffic in and out of your PC for better protection
• Makes your PC invisible to online scammers looking for easy targets
• Prevents remote access Trojans from hijacking your PC
