SecureSpot performs multiple security functions for an entire network, not just one computer, with a single device and a web services control center. It removes the need for consumers to purchase multiple licenses and integrate confusing varieties of PC-based standalone security products like firewalls, anti-virus software, pop-up killers, activity reporting, content-filtering and anti-spam programs. The device automatically blocks viruses, network attacks, malicious code, hacker exploits and hybrid threats, like SQL Slammer, Code Red and MS Blaster. Powered by Bsecure Technologies, it includes content filtering controls, anti-virus protection, firewall and intrusion detection, pop-up and spyware killers, and spam protection.
