Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best choice is D, personal firewall, as it describes a software firewall installed on an individual device, which provides an extra layer of protection beyond the network's hardware firewall. A is incorrect as an antivirus firewall is a specific type of software that focuses on detecting and removing viruses, not necessarily the same as a firewall. B is also incorrect as antispyware software primarily protects against spyware, adware, and other types of malware, not network security threats. C is unrelated to firewalls and refers to software updates designed to patch vulnerabilities and address security issues in existing software.
