Abstract
A switch box (named a security switch) comprises a housing with a manually and/or automatically activated ON/OFF switch for a phone and/or data line connected through the switch box. A user can disconnect his computer from the Internet to eliminate hacking when the computer is not in use. A simple push/pull lever moves any available type of male/female plug from a connect to a disconnect mode. A multi-wire version is shown. A future advanced electronic filter is shown which automatically replaces confidential data like a social security number with a set of dummy data while browsing on the Internet.
