Gadget of the Week - #1 Yoggie Gatekeeper
This is a new feature to the web site hopefully there will become a regular slot when this is announced.
Anyway this week’s gadget of the week is the Yoggie Gatekeeper Pro
What is it?
The Yoggie Gatekeeper Pro is an anti-virus solution like no other. This hardware portable device is actually a computer running a Unix system that’s all it takes to protect your computers security. The device can connect via USB or combination of USB and ethernet and is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.
Why is it so great?
An external firewall acts as a stronger line of defence against incoming viruses and security attacks compared to the standard software firewalls that run on your machine. Once the device is connect it basically gives care free protection to your system. Its benefits are that it is portable to is ideal to plug into your laptop, it is reasonably priced costing around the £100 ($200) mark and with all the security taken care of you can uninstall the software firewall, anti virus and spyware programs and free up some valuable system resources.
Its this weeks Gadget of the Week and I’m hoping to acquire one in the near future so will do a full review/how to at that point.

That’s neat. I wonder if I could hook it up to my server, and manage to get it protecting my site from malicious attacks.

The Yoggie Gatekeeper Pro has a PSP sort of look to it.

That is excellent, and it seems like it could be a great device… I am going to look into more reviews, but this looks like just what I need.

all these viruses are chaos!

That is a great device. Anti-virus and firewall software always slowed my computer down, so this will allow for a faster computer too.

The idea of having hardware antivirus is neat, I’ve never thought of antivirus as of device, not soft… and I do like the design:)
