Thread Starter 
Yoggie Security Systems has just revealed a new security device for notebook users, the Gatekeeper Card Pro™.

So what is it?

It is a microcomputer that plugs into your ExpressCard slot and comes preloaded with "13 best-of-breed" security applications. It contains its own memory, processor, and operating system which should leave the impact on system performance minimal.

It seems to be aimed at corporate IT systems with remote management options available with its Yoggie Management Server™.

Security features included are:
• Anti-Virus
• Anti-Spyware
• Anti-Phishing
• Anti-Spam
• Intrusion Detection System / Intrusion Prevention System
• Firewall (stateful inspection)
• Web Filtering/ Parental Content Control
• Adaptive Security Policy™
• Multi-Layer Security Agent™ (Patent pending)
• Layer-8 Security Engine ™ (Patent pending)
• Transparent Email Proxies (POP3; SMTP)
• Transparent Web Proxies (HTTP; FTP)
• VPN Client

Should you be interested in acquiring this card, it can be yours for the price of $199.

That's a lot of Security. With all due respect to these kinds of products, I stopped using firewalls, anti-virus software and adware programs....

All you need to survive on the internet with no problems is Firefox 2.0 and no script. The end. Best friggin extension ever. Been using it flawlessly since March of 2006, same OS install, same hardware, zero problems.

or run an operating system not called Windows. Since pretty much every virus is aimed at Windows, if you're using Mac OS or Linux, then you're fine as well.

That's another reason I'd switch in a heartbeat to Linux if I could play all my games on it without issues. And if it was a tad easier to install a f88king videocard driver.

If I wanted to wait 9 months for support on the latest games I would probably be 100% linux.
