use Comodo Personal Firewall . Comodo Personal Firewall is one of the smartest personal firewalls you can ever see. While providing answers to firewall’s questions, users usually do not understand the complex questions which involve complicated connection details like IP addresses, Ports, Application paths etc. With its built-in application database, Comodo Personal Firewall classifies more than 10.000 applications according to their risk level such as SAFE, SPYWARE, ADWARE etc. It is the only personal firewall which has such a big application database and which uses such a database to analyze the security risks. Comodo Personal Firewall is a complete, easy to manage and effective barrier that keeps hackers out and personal information in .

The only and best way is to install any Internet Security.
