Modem Hijacking has reached epidemic proportions for Internet users of late. Virtually any household using a dial-up connection can end up a victim of modem hijacking. It is a serious problem that can cost you serious money.
Modem hijackers are very innovative and using computer software to protect against Modem hijacking is always a risk because newer versions of hijacking software which can bypass preventative software are constantly being spread out through the Internet. A further drawback with software based solutions is that not all software programs deal with the multitude of operating systems and variations of installation found on end users home computers and this in its turn generates expensive calls to customer service. Hardware solutions can be completely independent of operating system, configuration or modem types, and Surfguard in particular is the only existing product that can fully protect against all forms of hijacking applications both now and into the future.
Viking Telecom have developed this new unique product - SurfGuard - that works like a filter for modems. After a very simple installation SurfGuard will only allow the modem to connect to safe pre-programmed phone numbers that are stored in SurfGuard.
SurfGuard is the only product on the market today that can properly protect your modem from old and new hijacking applications which are becoming increasingly more common and dangerous.
SurfGuard is a device which permanently and completely prevents modem hijacking. It differs from other solutions in that it is a hardware solution. The device is connected between the telephone line cord and the modem and will only allow connections to safe pre-programmed modem pool numbers. Installation is extremely simple and takes only moments.
