Hi there!
On Surge&Noise mode, the outlets (or more correct to say, the electric consumers) will be protected from - you guessed it - surge and noise over the electrical system. So in short: Yes, you're still protected.
With that said, as the device won't reactivate the backup mode, should there be any shortage of power, the consumers (computers, monitors, etc.) will shutdown immediately!
If you do need a UPS system, which will give you few more minutes to work on your computer/save your work in case of a shortage of power, here's a list of such systems from Google Shopping and eBay.
Best regards,
Pelu.
