I do not use firewalls because it is for extra security. New windows operating systems have built in firewalls. But if you custom security when you are online you can use any of additional firewalls. Free firewalls are solid products as free anti viruses. You can purchase firewalls. There are many free firewalls available to download.

A firewall is used for network security to block unauthorized access. A firewall can be computer program or a device or both. A device firewall is for professional security. For more information you can read article on Wikipedia.

Most of these programs works with Windows 7.
