I bought the Internet Cop for an XP desktop connected to a fiber optic network. This is a great device, featuring two large "red light" "green light" buttons that let you take your whole system off the network with the simple press of a button (I used to manually unplug the network cable from the router when working on sensitive financial files to avoid malicious hackers).

The Internet Cop has really simplified my life. It's given me a trusted, physical firewall that's quick and easy to use. Push a button, off the network. Push a button, on the network. And it's very obvious is you're on (large green light) or off (large red light). Cool!

If you have to ask why you have to unplug from the network to avoid hackers, it's time to do a Google search and learn a little more about your computer's vulnerability while online even when protected by a firewall and/or virus programs----- OR you can just buy one of these and trust that you really, really need one if your computer is not already equipped with an off/on networking switch. Think PHYSICAL FIREWALL--hackers can't hit what they can't see.

This is a fast and reliable method of disconnecting from the net. Sure, you can open three windows to turn the software off in windows or a Mac, but this is a physical disconnect without having to reach behind the machine or under the desk. The easier it is to use the more you use it, right?

um seriously? If you are too lazy to need a "Button" in order to turn off the internet on your computer..

modern day OS like windows 7 and even xp i think. allow you to "turn off" the internet by simply right clicking the internet connection button on the taskbar and disconnecting.

you dont need to buy this product to do that....
