There is no magic bullet: No Internet firewall or PC login security technique is going to keep out 100% of all hackers or miscreants. Hackers are people who devote their lives to breaking security mechanisms. In many cases, they are several steps ahead of the rest of us as far as security is concerned. If you think about it, how does a company that makes a virus scanner know to add a new virus to its list? The virus must have been found, and to be found, it must have infected an uncounted number of computers already. The same goes for Internet and login security holes: they can only be protected against once they have been discovered.

What does this mean?
It means that regardless of the security measures you've taken, you are STILL at risk. Preventing the hacker's ability to retrieve data and files that you intend to keep private can dramatically reduce this risk. If a hacker invades your system and doesn't find anything useful, he or she will most likely move on without causing damage. It's up to you, and System Shield, to make sure you remain safe!
