Keeping the Garbage from Coming Up on Your Computer
There is a lot of offensive garbage that we can encounter while using our computers. Especially if you have children, you are aware of this offensive online content and would like to take steps to protect your children from viewing it or taking part in it in any way. K9 Web Protection isThis software requires an administrator password. No one can uninstall it or change settings unless they know this password. With this software you can view internet activity. This page gives you an overview of the internet activity of everyone who uses the computer. With this you are able to see the category summary of what categories have been accessed and what categories have been blocked and why. This page also shows when K9 has been updated and if there has been any failed attempts to login to the system.
On the Setup Page you decide what kind of protection level you desire. Protection levels include high, default, moderate, minimal, monitor, and custom. High protects against all default-level categories plus chat, newsgroups, and un-rated sites. Default protects against all adult content, security threats, illegal activity, sexually-related sites, and online community sites. Moderate protects against all adult content, security threats, and illegal activity. Minimal protects against pornography and security threats. Monitor allows all categories and only logs traffic. Custom is used when you want to select you own set of categories to block. There are numerous categories to choose from and I found the list to be helpful and complete when choosing what to allow on my family computer.
If you prefer your children to not use the internet while you are not home or if you have older kids that will be up after you go to bed, being able to set time restrictions is effective in keeping kids off the computer when you want them off.
Using a combination of Windows user controls and freeware applications we build a safer Internet environment for kids.
