Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC Router AntiVirus Protection No Ferrari Content

I'm sure others will chime in who are far more qualified than I ...

firewall which will  protect against unauthorized access/attacks if  
properly implemented, however this will not prevent viruses, spyware,  
and other evil things out.
