Your modem is one of the most delicate parts of your computer. Any electrical surge can cause it to malfunction or not work at all. It is especially susceptible to lightning. To fully protect your modem you need the Targus Notebook / Modem Surge Protector. It protects the phone line as well as your modem power supply and power supply for your computer. Otherwise you will need to make sure that both power and phone line are unplugged from the modem during a storm and when you are not using it.
