Hardware Anti-virus

Xnet OS Protector is an intelligent circuit card which protects PC system configuration and protect data on hard disk in simple and fast way. The installation and operation is simple and can be done in minutes without technical staff involvement. The form factor is a small PCI card.
The concept is simple. Instead of Blacklisting (ie keeping track of all the new viruses and their signatures) OS Protector uses Whitelisting. It keeps track of what is good. So all it needs to do is know what files are clean and so protects that only.
How does it do this? Using parity bits, protection is offered at the hardware level (hence the title: hardware anti-virus). It kicks in before Windows boots, so Windows Viruses will not be able to attack it. This way it is even able to protect the BIOS from being changed.
