Sorry about this stupid question. But i hear all this talk about firewalls on a connection. Can some1 tell me what it does and if u take it down is it alot faster?. I have Windows 98se and would like to know how to take it down, if it makes your connect faster. Thanks
think of the firewall in the car
its between the driver and the engine.
(yeah u have a stereo and steering wheel and other garbage mounted on it)
it protects the driver.
apply that to the computer firewall.
it protects your computer. (tries too )
last time i checked windows98se doesnt come with a firewall... so if u have one its a 3rd party firewall .. and like all programs that run on your computer .. can be closed.
