As other say a surge protectors won't protect you from a direct strike, but then again neither will unplugging it. I was hit 2 years ago buy a VERY close strike. I lost things in the basement that were not even plugged in at the time (both were electric motors) it must have been real interesting down there at the time. I have seen completly fried surge protectors with burn marks and all yet the equipment plugged into them was fine. When you purchase a surge protector look for ones that have an equipment guarantee on them. The 19.95 ones are nothing more than a multiple outlet strip at best. I prefer the APC brand ones (American Power Conversion)they have always done well by me. If you purchase a battery backup again APC is the ONLY brand I will use. I have over 20 years experience in the computer field and this is all hard won experience.
