Do I need a Firewall?

Take this little quiz to help you decide what is right for you.

  1. Do you use the Internet for anything, including email?
  2. Do you do online banking?
  3. Do you make online purchases with a credit or debit card?
  4. Do you use online brokerage services?
  5. Do you store personal information on your computer?
  6. Are you attached to a network upon which any other computer may be used for one of the above items?
