Entering Personal Computers When Enabled
LAKE FOREST, Ill., Sept. 8 -BFG Technologies(R), Inc., the leading U.S.-based supplier of NVIDIA 3D graphics cards and other PC enthusiast products, announced today that they have entered an exclusive worldwide distribution agreement with Microgistix, Inc. to launch Internet Traffic Cop(TM), a broadband internet standby switch for personal computers.
With patent pending technology developed by Microgistix, Inc., and worldwide marketing, sales and distribution managed by BFG Technologies, Inc., the Internet Traffic Cop(TM) internet standby switch gives broadband end users the ability to quickly and easily isolate or disconnect their PC from the internet when not in use.
"Many users of broadband internet service think their PC is no longer connected to the internet whenever their internet browser is not open," said Ric Lewis, executive vice president of BFG Technologies. "The fact is, a broadband internet connection is 'always-on' -- allowing all sorts of unwanted and dangerous invaders to access the user's PC as long as it is connected, whether an internet browser is open or not."
The Internet Traffic Cop(TM) device physically shuts off the internet connection whenever the end user desires, thereby protecting the computer against malicious internet-based worms, viruses and hackers as long as the device is enabled. The device is extremely user-friendly, connecting quickly via a USB or Ethernet cable, and features brightly lit red and green buttons for clear on/off functionality. Internet Traffic Cop(TM) also comes bundled with 30-day free trial versions of Webroot(R) Spy Sweeper(TM), Desktop Firewall(TM), and Window Washer(R) software.
Internet Traffic Cop(TM) will be available October, 2005 in the U.S. at Best Buy and Chumbo.com. Please visit http://www.trafficcop.com for more information.
