Firewall Testing 2

*continued from previous post*
To check if your computer has been turned to a zombie, there are available test sites you can find on the net. But you don’t just trust any site, you have to be somewhat picky on the test site that you will choose. Take this general rule: do not rely completely on sites that are provided by some company that is offering you firewall software products because obviously the findings will be bias: they would tell you to purchase their product because that is what they wanted from you.

After installing a reliable and trusted personal firewall, make sure that it is configured correctly. Then test it to ensure that the application is working purposely.
