The device is installed in the network inline-between the broadband modem and the network router-and supports the management of both Windows (2000/XP) and Mac OS (10.3/10.4) endpoints. The vendor states that all brands of routers are supported. A Web-accessible console provides for the central management of individual or all PCs on the network; with the ability to set virus scan times, protective services, and other tasks for one or all machines. The databases used for virus definitions, URL filtering, spyware and spam servers as well as the network tools themselves are automatically updated.
