It is easy to install and administer. There are low system requirements and local help desk support is available. Most software security packages attempt to block offensive web sites. The onus is then on school, college or University to make sure that lists of offensive web sites are kept up to date. With an estimated 400,000 new web sites created every day, this is an impossible task.
Using the latest technology, obscene works and pictures are removed from the screen in Real Time.
Our unique approach is not to block web sites but to identify and then prevent your minors from viewing any offensive material. By enforcing the Acceptable Use Policy in accordance with the Duty of Care for your School, University or College. When the children encounter pornographic or predatory content on the internet, our software warns them of the danger and takes a screen shot of the violation to a secure database and the application can be closed depending on the options selected. Furthermore, it monitors the content of e-mail, chat rooms and instant messaging to detect phrases that are commonly used by paedophiles such as "don't tell your parents". This can be done without the child's knowledge and can provide you with e-mail alerts and easily produced reports.
