Firewall for laptop
« on: February 03, 2005, 04:45:57 PM »
I have a Linksys router which is hardwired to my PC. And also a good Firewall installed. My laptop is connected wireless, do I need a Firewall on the laptop also.

Thanks

Binary1100,

The router acting as a firwall is almost always sufficient for your security needs. Sure an extra firewall is not going to hurt anything but should not be needed for your home needs.

Hope this helps

Well.... I would just install the other firewall anyway, becuase you can never be too sure, or safe...  ;)
