Abstract: A peripheral disconnection switch system and method are provided. The system comprises at least one peripheral connected to a processor, and a hardware switch connected to the at least one peripheral. The system is operable such that engaging the hardware switch disables the at least one peripheral.

Abstract: A universal serial bus (USB) disconnection switch system, method, and computer program product are provided. In use, it is determined that a USB port integrated with a computing device is in electrical communication with at least one hardware component of the computing device via a data bus. Additionally, it is determined that a first predefined condition of the computing device is satisfied. Further, a switch is controlled to disconnect the data bus from the at least one hardware component of the computing device, based on the determination that the USB port is in electrical communication with the at least one hardware component via the data bus and the determination that the first predefined condition of the computing device is satisfied.

Abstract: A unique hardware fingerprint device and method are provided. The device comprises a sensor comprising a dense capacitance matrix, the dense capacitance matrix containing a unique hardware fingerprint. The device further comprises a processor configured to secure the device using the unique hardware fingerprint.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to facilitate browsing activity and the resulting download of data. In the context of a method, filtered data is received in response to browsing activity. The filtered data includes information regarding a data item that has been removed from the filtered data. The method may also identify a replacement data item based upon a selection criteria. The replacement data item may be different than the data item that has been removed from the filtered data. For example, the replacement data item may include an image, a video, an audio recording or an advertisement. The method may also cause presentation of the filtered data in combination with a replacement data item and based at least partially upon the information regarding the data item that has been removed.
