Introduction:
AlphaShield Home Edition:
According to the National Cyber Security Alliance, the safest way to fully protect any
computer is to physically disconnect it from the Internet. AlphaShield Home Edition
allows the customer to protect a computer effectively, by seamlessly disconnecting and
reconnecting it without Internet service interference. The IP Address is protected and
concealed and thus is not visible to be hacked, spied on, advertised to or changed by
malicious softwares. It is estimated that over 30% of all Internet traffic is malicious and
that the average computer is scanned 7-10 times per hour by third parties. AlphaShield
Home Edition blocks all 65,536 ports in your computer. For Always-On connections,
blocking all ports or entry points is critical in securing a computer. Everyone who has
High-Speed Internet should have an AlphaShield Home Edition to protect them.

BugBear and DoomJuice. It is also easy to install and does not require any software.
