Product Yoggie
Recommendation: *****
Geek factor ***½

The Yoggie Pico Pro is a great value. It's one of the safest ways to compute. Check with Google shopping for the best prices. I won't be without one.

Pros

  • Yoggie combines a hardware device with software to protect personal computers. Hardware devices provide a higher level of security.
  • The device checks for software updates every 15 minutes.
  • In an emergency, remove the USB device and it shuts down your connection to the Internet.

Cons

  • Don't forget the password to the device. It requires a file emailed by tech support to reset. It can be a pain but it is also an added level of security.
  • During the early months, Yoggie's support was by email. Tel Aviv is in a different time zone than Florida and at times tech support replies were delayed. The company now has a U.S. and International toll free help line.

Availability

Online and street prices range from $133 to $143.
