Today is PFW Day
Today is PFW day.
That’s short for Personal Firewall Day and it’s being promoted by McAfee, Microsoft, Sygate, TruSecure and Zone Labs.
They’re ’sponsoring’ an, "Industry-wide Cooperative Public Service Initiative Endorsed by the Information Technology Association of America and the SANS Institute".
"On January 15, 2004, America’s top computer software and security organizations will mark the start of a nationwide public service effort to educate consumers on protecting their home computers," they say in a puff release on their site where:
"Novice computer users can learn how to find and use tools that will protect a PC connected to the Internet from hackers on the Personal Firewall Day Web site (www.personalfirewallday.org.) Personal Firewall Day is also a call to firewall experts to share their expertise and advice with the their friends, family, and the public."
