Is there a Security Risk?

Q: Isn't an always-on connection a security risk?
A: Because BT Broadband is an 'always on' connection, BT recommends you install firewall software.

This will prevent anyone from gaining unauthorised access to your computer.

In addition, anti-virus software will protect your computer from viruses that can cause serious data corruption. Your computer can pick up a virus from anything you download that has encountered that virus - therefore a firewall alone will not necessarily protect you.

It is possible to purchase combined firewall and anti-virus software which will effectively protect your computer.

Note: BT accepts no liability for any damage, loss, or inconvenience suffered as a result of computer virus or unauthorised access.

More information on computer security and broadband is available in the eSecurity section of broadband-suppliers.com.
