A firewall works by being a gatekeepers between your computer and the internet. When you visit a website your computer sends packets of data to the website's server (the computer that host domain/website. For example Google.com has a server). That website then sends packets of data back to your computer. A firewall works by not allowing you to access websites that are known to to spread malware (malicious code that performs an unwanted or destructive action on your computer). Firewalls also prevent people from connecting to your computer without your knowledge. Complex firewalls are often used to protect large companies and government agencies (such as the CIA and Pentagon). Every computer user should user a firewall. Also microsoft has included a firewall in their Windows Operating System. It is known as the Windows Firewall. However, still use Mcafee's firewall.
