A security firm has released a suite of applications contained on a
Linux-based mini-computer.

Yoggie Security Systems on Tuesday launched Yoggie Pico — a miniature
computer contained on a USB stick. Once plugged in, it "hijacks"
internet traffic, screens it for malware and then cleans it if
necessary before allowing Windows applications to access the traffic.

The miniature computer runs on Linux version 2.6, and uses a Novell PXA
270 chipset, which offers the same processing power as a Pentium 3
523MHz computer. Security applications include firewall, intrusion
detection and prevention, antivirus, anti-spyware and anti-spam. SMTP
email traffic is also scanned. The security applications use both
signature and behaviour-based malware detection, and signatures are
updated hourly.
