I read about this a year or so back. Looks like a great hardware firewall .I bought it for only 120 bucks and a piece of mind.Called the Alpha shield
http://www.alphashield.com .They claim 100% unhackable internet security or your money back.Stops trojans and worms .A Vancouver based company as well.what do you think?

Never heard of it but it looks pretty good.

I run a Linksys hardware firewall router and ZoneAlarm Pro

Yeah, these aren't too bad - anything is better then nothing.

The "unhackable" part of this relies on it's self updating methods. So, it's not really "unhackable", but rather internet updatable.

Really, if you need real security, hire a security pro that will work with you to build a solid firewall. It doesn't take much more then an old second hand computer and some knowledge. With the proper setup, you can be pretty secure and have something unique that most hackers will look past for an easier target.
