ABSTRACT:
A system and method is provided for an internal firewall configured to operate in a personal computer, which is configured to operate with other computers connected to a network. The personal computer includes at least two microprocessors. The firewall is configured to deny access to a first microprocessor of the personal computer by one of the other computers of the network during a shared operation involving the personal computer and the other computers of the network. The firewall is also configured to allow access to a second microprocessor of the personal computer by the other computers during the shared operation.
