At the risk of irritating someone at D-Link, there's really nothing I've seen useful in SecureSpot that can't be facilitated using OpenDNS, which is free, and one's own choice of an antivirus utility, free or not.
This goes especially for any Mac users out there. I've found absolutely nothing in SecureSpot of any benefit for that platform.
...and, if there ever is support for Mac, I'd sure appreciate another crack at a 30-day demo period. I was an idiot and started mine.
I'm not Dlink, for the record.
Dlink is not claiming to have extra features besides OpenDNS/firewalls and Anti virus packages. Securespot is targeted at people who:
1. haven't got a clue what they're doing with PC's and networks
2. are not willing (or able) to understand why they need a firwall and antivirus program on their PC's at home (mom and dad, kids etc) and what the threats of malware are
So it's clear
you're not the target audience for Securespot. But looking at the number of n00bs using PC's (the millions of infected PC's worldwide (zombie networks), the succesfull phishing scams and so on) Securespot can solve their problem for the entire home network. Yes, they can also ask the neighbour or local PC store to help them but most of the people will turn off the installed programs once they experience issues like unavailable websites or blocked LAN's
Please do not project your own expertise of OpenDNS, AV and firewalls upon the rest of the world. Reality is so much worse that you should look at the product from the average users' point of view, not from your own expert perspective. And yes, compared to the 'average user level' you're considered an expert.
