Hardware Firewall

[dirtwarrior]

I have heard this is the best type of firewall, but I dont know what it is exactly.

Is there a such thing as hardware antivirus

[LLXX]

It's a firewall implemented in a dedicated computer. Large companies usually use them.

The "Disconnect" switches that physically disconnect don't count as hardware firewalls.

Some might have antivirus features, but "hardware antivirus" probably isn't the term for it.

Or it could imply the solution in the nForce 4 series, where a dedicated chip onboard the motherboard handles the processing of network traffic.
