A firewall helps protect your computer. It's a good thing. On
the other hand, spyware can do alot of damage. It really does
spy on you. Your internet surfing. Do you go to this site or a
naughty site. Even passwords may be found.
Their are a lot of excellent spyware and virus protection
out there. Try a computer store. Even Wal-Mart, sells Norton
and Mcafee. Both pretty affordable.And up to both tasks.
Hope this helps.

Spyware is software that secretly gathers information about a user while he/she navigates the Internet. A firewall is a system that secures a network, shielding it from access by unauthorized users.

Therefore, users use Firewalls to secure their network so Spyware is unable to get in. Sometimes, this filter dosn't stop the spyware. It is then that you use a spyware remover to remove it from your computer.

A firewall is software or hardware that restricts network traffic for security purposes.

Spyware is software which accesses personal data and sends it to third parties (without the knowledge of the system's user).
