[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1084411, member: 99014"] Firewall is not solely centred on programmes, for that you have antivirus and it should have already removed the malicious code. It is more centred around securing the device from external (also blocked by the router) and internal (mostly) network attacks by closing ports, dropping packets and unnecessary connections, and preventing common attack methods. Indeed. This is where Avast Web Shield or any other anti-bot solution will come in handy, by blocking dodgy traffic generated by legitimate processes. Avast Web Shield also goes a step further than just blocking traffic, by calling remediation on processes that communicate to malicious C&Cs. [/QUOTE]
