Atlanta – November 14, 2011 – NetSecure Technologies announces the SmartSwipe personal credit card reader, available at Brookstone, is now equipped with BitDefender's Quickscan and Internet Security to provide the safest online shopping protection on the market. NetSecure’s SmartSwipe encrypts credit card and identity information, scrambling it before it even reaches the internet. Now, SmartSwipe users can also protect their computer from viruses and malware with BitDefender’s Quickscan, the #1 rated consumer antivirus software.

More than 8 million people were the victims of identity theft last year, and many of them had their credit card information stolen online. With 75% of shopping done online, consumers need to start defending themselves against potential attacks and credit card fraud.

"Even the most reputable websites are victim to hackers and online predators, so SmartSwipe delivers convenience and peace of mind to all our internet activities," said Daniel McCann, President of NetSecure Technologies. "BitDefender's Quickscan and Internet Security product brings an added level of defense, giving our users the ultimate protection."

Traditional online security only protects your sensitive information once you’ve submitted it. SmartSwipe starts protecting you from the moment you use your credit card. Using a terminal that plugs into a computer's USB port, you simply swipe your card as you would in a store and SmartSwipe scrambles and encrypts your data before it hits the web. This process eliminates the need to manually enter credit card information, saving time while you shop online. In a recent study of those users that already had an antivirus program installed, QuickScan found that up to 20% of the computers scanned were infected with viruses. With BitDefender’s leading computer security now part of the package, users have access to superior scanning, threat prevention and virus removal even when they’re not shopping.

SmartSwipe with BitDefender works with nearly every major credit card and credit/debit card combination including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. It is compatible with Internet Explorer and Firefox on PCs.

SmartSwipe with BitDefender is now available at Brookstone stores from $69.99. For more information about SmartSwipe and a brief product demo video, please visit www.smartswipe.ca.

Wired or wireless which do you prefer? In a perfect world, I prefer the audio quality of a wired headset but the convenience of wireless is worth it. You don’t have your cord getting in the way and you can keep your headset on even when you get up from your PC. Not to mention cord damage is one of...

AMD’s GPU lineup started off with the RX 7900 XT and RX 7900 XTX models on the high end and later they filled in things with the RX 7800 XT and cards below that. But the gap between the RX 7900 XT and RX 7800 XT is a large one, especially with Nvidia having competition there with cards like the...

Last year when I took a look at the Sapphire Pulse RX 7600 I was impressed with Sapphire’s design which while not as small as the reference AMD design was still compact where most other aftermarket cards weren’t. That seems to be the same this time around with the launch of the RX 7600 XT and...
