Introduction:
AlphaShield:
According to the National Cyber Security Alliance, the safest way to fully protect any computer is to physically disconnect it
from the Internet. AlphaShield allows the customer to protect a computer effectively, by seamlessly disconnecting and
reconnecting it without Internet service interference. The IP Address is protected and concealed and thus is not visible to be
hacked, spied on, advertised to or changed by malicious softwares. It is estimated that over 30% of all Internet traffic is
malicious and that the average computer is scanned 7-10 times per hour by third parties. AlphaShield blocks all 65,536 ports
in your computer. For Always-On connections, blocking all ports or entry points is critical in securing a computer. Everyone
who has High-Speed Internet should have an AlphaShield to protect them.
AlphaShield prevents hacking and damage from worms like MSBlast, BugBear and DoomJuice. It is also easy to install and
does not require any software.
