Now this is something. A linux based security suite integrated into an USB stick! It works by installing a low-level driver into the PC's OS (of course this is a Windows only stuff ) and redirecting all network traffic through this driver, which filters the data through the appliance's security mechanisms. They say that this unit provides an all-in-one solution: firewall, spam-filter, anti-virus, bla-bla-bla ... Actually the only problem with this is that the whole stuff is only as secure as the Windows (driver) architecture allows. And I don't trust that too much. :-> I'm not naive: most probably Mac OS X is not much safer from a technical POV, but it's got a lot smaller user base and thus is a less attacked platform. And on the other hand, it's working a lot better and that's a significant aspect from a user's POV.
