Smaller scale security
To combat the alarming number of annoying and potentially disastrous security breaches to the home or small office, D-Link has introduced a desktop Internet Security Device (ISD) to provide protection for networked PCs against viruses, spam, spyware, pop-ups, hackers and other privacy invasions.
Operating under a single, integrated web-based control centre, the SecureSpot Internet Security Device performs multiple security functions so consumers need not select, buy, and integrate disparate stand-alone firewalls, pop-up blockers, reporting applications, content and spam filters and antivirus protection.
