Hello,
I would like to know if one can protect himself from 'network attacks' by using Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 (=av+fw) while being on Windows 7 Home Premium.
Does having a software firewall fend off these network attacks? Does it give you that guarantee, or will the attacks keep coming? Is it better to buy a router and will the router block those network attacks and keep you safe from them?
Essentially my colleague keeps getting network attacks and he is on a cable connection (coax). His UTP cable goes straight from his modem to his NIC port. So, there is a direct connection between the modem and his PC.
I would like to know how to help him blocking these attacks.
Thank you
