yoggie Yoggie Pico Personal Resembles USB Key, Fights Away Viruses and Other NastiesTraditionally, we’re all used to software alone as our primary way to keep our computer secure. The Yoggie Pico Personal is an external device the size of a standard USB key. Inside of it are 12 security applications including an Anti Virus, Anti Spam, Anti Phishing, Anti Spyware, Intrusion Detection, Intrusion Prevention, Firewall, Web Filtering, and Parental Content Control software. The device also has a neat way of hiding your IP address and instead it will use its own IP address to thwart incoming evil-doers. Overall, we’re a bit skeptical, it seems like $179 is a lot to pay for something that you can get most of in an $80 security suite, and who wants to shlep a long yet another external device with their laptop? But if you’re a security freak, and you’re still interested, Linux Devices has a more in-depth review of the Yoggie Pico Personal. Oh, and did we mention that it comes with a clip? How cool would this be to wear next to your pocket protector!
