[QUOTE="rndmblk, post: 917565, member: 89746"] I notice some of the computer security configurations mention the person using the Public firewall profile. Im not sure if that offers a security benefit. I started with a private profile then applied the H_C rules and MS Office rules in the Firewall part of H_C. I use WFC and use the medium filtering level. I use my PC at home and access files on a small NAS unit. I dont share files direct from my PC and my printer is connected to my router so don't share that either. Would public profile be safer? can you still access other systems over the home network with Public profile? [/QUOTE]
