Hi all
I'm confused about how firewalls and routers work, can someone assist?
My PC is connected to the wireless router via an ethernet cable. When I play my PS3 I do that wirelessly as they are in different parts of the house.
My question is, would my PC be protected whilst the router is on and the PC is off? If someone got past the router security I assume the firewall on my PC wouldn't stop them, is that correct?
Also can viruses, trojans etc..etc... be put onto my PC via the PS3 when I'm playing online?
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
