More security for the home or small office.
For those who want a little more security at their home or small office, D-Link has a product that includes network protection, a firewall, an anti-virus solution, protection from spyware, identity protection, a pop-up blocker, a SPAM blocker, and parental controls in one device that is smaller than most DSL or cable modems. There are different profiles for different users and each profile can have limits set on the times when it can connect to the internet. Certain websites can be blocked as well to prevent people from viewing unwanted sites.
The Securespot Internet Security Adapter from D-Link connects between your modem and router and works with computers running Windows XP or 2000 or Mac OS X with Internet Explorer or Firefox.
All administration is done through web-based forms and the device is updated automatically as soon as new definition files are available to provide the most protection.
You will need to enter some billing information into the system as some of the features do have a cost. The device itself costs about $100 and includes a one-year license for up to 4 computers. The following years the users must pay $79.99/yr. for the license for the first 4 computers and $19.99 for each additional license. Not so expensive when you consider the cost of Norton or other security systems which are about the same or even a little more for each year's use. Also this device does more than just general security which would involve paying even more for similar features.
