Internet Security
Without a firewall, your computer is operating under an "open door" policy – your bank account information, passwords, credit card numbers, documents and photos that you don't want to share with the world. They are all available to anyone with bad intentions and basic computer skills. Hackers can get in, take what they want, and even leave open a "back door" so they can turn your computer into a "zombie" and use it to attack other computers. Every minute that your computer is connected to the Internet, either through a dial-up (modem) connection or through a broadband (DSL or cable) service, it is at risk.
UKDS can check to assess the vulnerability of your PC. We can test your computer's exposure to online security threats and learn how to make your computer more secure. We can provide essential 24-hour vital Internet security protection from viruses, hackers, and privacy threats for dial-up, DSL, and cable modem users as well as scan and clean both incoming and outgoing email messages.
