Canada, QC | The idea is cool specially for people who don't want to bother with all the different security apps or for someone who is computer illiterate. I would wait and see how it performs, specially if it's from Dlink and it involves updates to the firmware...
Will the updates require a monthly service fee? |

And yes, as for Dlink, I will wait and see. |

That was my question as well, and so far I don't see any indication of such...
Scratch that: looks like a $79 yearly fee, a little steep for keeping my definitions updated.... |

said by Cheese:Is this in the firmware? How would this take to daily updates if it's in the firmware? According to D-Link web site, the device automatically links to update sites to download tables to maintain updated signatures and definitions. From that, I assume that the firmware is the core code, and tables provide the customization and updated signatures and definitions.
Also, it looks like pieces reside outside of the security device. It is a 3 layer product:
THREE LAYERS OF PROTECTION
The SECURESPOT is the first all-in-one, plug and play desktop Internet Security Device designed to provide three layers of protection: the Web Layer, the SECURESPOT Hardware Layer, and the Individual Computer Layer. The Web Service Layer manages your home network security with real-time updates of antivirus, spam, spyware, reporting and content filtering databases. The SECURESPOT Layer provides network perimeter protection through firewall, content filtering, virus filtering, application control, identity theft, and reporting. The Individual Computer Layer protects by applying antivirus and spyware detection and removal, pop-up control, and application control. --

4 edits | blah i am an assistant manager for a very popular southern fast food chain (fresh, hot, small & square is your hint to the chain name) but we offer free WIFI access to the public. all our stores that run the WIFI have the Cisco 500 directly behind the modem. it runs that shitty St. Bernard software. well www.limewire.com is filtered out, it says its restricted and so is break.com but here is the kicker. you can install any p2p program from your home and still use it to access our free internet to run the application. i have caught several people in the parking lot, sitting there for hours on end downloading god knows what. well i have a switch in the back that shuts off the wireless. when i see someone in the parking lot for an odd amount of time i go and shut the access point off. i love it when they come in and complain your free internet went down and my reply is oh really? i dont even own a computer so im clueless to whats wrong with it. i hope that the firmware on this little box DLink offers is a little more secure than that crap from St Bernard.
edit: what kills me is the ISP for the majority of all our stores is comcast and in comcasts EULA or TOS i think its referred to as, strictly prohibits public sharing of the connection. does this make a difference seeing how it is a company doing it? i dont want to sit and read the TOS to find out so maybe someone knows about that because i dont. |

Re: Interesting...... Looks like it acts as a inline layer 2 bridge. I wonder what the wirespeed performance is going to be? |

Stepford, CA | No Thanks Overpriced and probably easily exploitable too. All-in-ones aren't usually worth the money because bundling processes usually results in the wholesale depreciation of the entire thing. There is no possible way that D-Link could ever hope to keep up with, much less outpace, hackers, crackers, spyware, spybots & spam. |

Re: blah Yes!
...well, unless you get those frozen white castle burgers...(not so hungry, anymore *thinking of frozen white castle burgers*)
Krystal offers wifi (just came back from their website). I just wish they had one closer to me...like...across the street would be nice!  |

I have used a fortinet firewall that provided the same features and was always on top of virus defs, spyware, and so on. Course, that system was $2000 up front and there was a yearly fee for def updates.
I am going to hold off on reviews until toms hardware or another site does an official review on it.

Re: blah You.. are crazy! Krystal doesn't taste ANYTHING like White Castle. They look the same, yes, but they are definitely not the same. I remember the first time I traveled south and ate a Krystal, expecting it to be like WC. I was horribly disappointed. I think WC soaks the buns in the onion grease, while Krystal serves 'em dry.

What's certain about Darwinism is that it would take less time for (1) a single-celled organism to evolve into a human being through mutation and natural selection than for (2) Darwinists to admit they have no proof of (1) - Ann Coulter |
