Wireless Live CD Alternative: Zeus Gard

Summary: Krebs on Security reviews ZeusGard, a $24.95 silver USB flash drive that boots a Debian Linux browser session in about 30 seconds, with a $14.95 wireless adapter that lets it connect to WPA/WPA2 networks. It is produced by Bancsec, whose CEO J.B. Snyder said the next version will add a streamlined wireless setup and more in-browser options, since the tested version shuts down automatically after 30 minutes.
What you should know: The device exists because a Live CD lets users bank safely from a machine already riddled with malware, but the article notes it does not protect an account if transaction data is stolen elsewhere, and commenters report it fails on several MacBook Pro models.
