While the Web brings you an exciting world of global connectivity, it also puts you at risk for cyber crime and the threat of virtual intruders. Every social network update, shared photo, streaming video and account transfer leaves your computer open to malware, viruses and other digital debacles. It's critical not only to identify existing threats, but also to prevent future attacks and defend all of your essential access points ~ your home PC or Mac and your on-the-go mobile devices.

Protect your personal information with guards against identity theft. You can also be sure your Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn settings maintain an optimal level of security for your social networking presence. Access online banking without worry thanks to a secure browser and a password management tool that defend your financial data from unauthorized access. Provide a safe Internet experience for your little ones via your PC with content restriction and filtering that shields them from inappropriate Web sites. Easily remove existing PC problems with a simple tune-up that identifies and repairs common issues to deliver optimal speed and performance.

Best I've used!!!

Virus software is a necessary evil. If you have ever had a PC infected you will quickly learn the value of having good virus software protection. I've tried everything from Norton to Kaspersky (which I was using until I got the Trend product). The Trend is much faster, has a better monitoring and notification interface than any product I've ever used. I'm a believer!

Doesn't work with Surface Pro 3

The device was purchased at the same time as the Surface Pro 3 with the intent of having a disc drive. Sadly, the device consumes too much power for the USB port making it not compatible with the Surface Pro 3.

Device protection reasonably priced

The screen of the Surface Pro 3 gets a lot of use. Protecting the screen without giving up visibility or functionality makes this screen protector great. The only reason for the 4 instead of 5 is that the alignment and installation process has to be perfect. If you touch ANY area around the corners you lose adhesion.

For a Surface Pro 3 this case is just right. Small enough but able to pack all accessories in a small footprint. Works great when packing in a business travel case.

I haven't used a "traditional" style mouse in many years. I reluctantly purchased the Surface mouse and was amazed. Very comfortable and lots of features. The nicest feature is that Bluetooth connectivity keeps the Surface Pro 3 USB port freed up for other uses.

No more wires!!!
on June 7, 2015

For years I have struggled with my Klipsch Home Theater speaker system. Struggled because the rear speakers required wiring. It is such an incredible speaker system I couldn't stand to part with it. The final straw was when I purchased a 114 year old home in a historic neighborhood in Denver. I couldn't bear to drill into century old brick to run the wires. I tried the RocketFish wireless kit. Amazing!!! It solved the wiring issue and actually enhanced the sound with a volume control on the remote unit for balance. I'm going to buy another kit for my Boston Acoustic surround sound system. Even though the wiring would be easy, the wireless kit for under $100 has me hooked. Great work RocketFish!!!

As the owner of a historical home built in 1901, asthetics are important as preventing damage to the structure. This mount provides many unique options for placing a modern device in a space never intended for modern technology with minimal impact on structure.

Only @ Best BuyGuard your home theater equipment with this Insignia~ NS-HW503 8-outlet surge protector that features a 600-joule rating for reliable protection. Four outlets feature added space for fitting large plugs.
 

I can't plug my stuff in!! It kind of looks like something metal is inside each outlet. Is it some sort of slide lock I can't figure out? If I hold the plug there, the unit charges, but the plug falls out as soon as I let go. How do I charge my stuff?

This is a feature called "Manufacturing Defect". Refund time! BTW - This device is not UL rated for surge protection. It is a glorified extension cord with lots of outlets. See attached photo for a description of surge protection devices for electronics.

What is the combined maximum amperage rating of all devices plugged in to this outlet strip?

The device has a UL 15 amp outlet configuration. That means a TOTAL of 15 amps for ALL items plugged in. Don't forget about the inrush current that devices such as refrigerators have.

I need to back up all my stuff on my Mac, so do I need to set up anything for this flash drive to work?

Maybe. It was a breeze on my Surface Pro 3.
