What's Hot

Blocks unwanted sites, pop-up windows and Web advertisements; comes with a 1-year McAfee anti-virus subscription for up to four users, has a spam filter that can be used for POP3 email programs, comprehensive security logs, can store and encrypt personal information

What's Not

It's a little cumbersome to set up, its 'Parental' filters are too broad, it's not fully compatible with Windows Vista yet, Windows Live Messenger was unable to connect

The Final Word

In the end, the SecureSpot was satisfactory at performing its intended duty, but it did require a bit of fiddling in order to provide us with a smooth Web browsing experience. However, if time is dedicated to set it up correctly, it's definitely a convenient way to secure small networks, especially in a small office, and prohibit access to Web sites that might be conducive to procrastination.
