PERSONAL FIREWALL SOFTWARE DEFINITION (continued): … A personal firewall (sometimes called a desktop firewall) is a softwareapplication used to protect a single Internet-connected computer from intruders. Personal firewall protection is especially useful for users with "always-on" connections such as DSL or cable modem.
