Powerful Filtering Capabilities to Protect Your Family and Business
Powerful Filtering Technologies
CyberPatrol’s powerful filtering capabilities help protect against harmful Internet content by blocking unsuitable web sites, content and images.
Accurate Filtering Database
The CyberPatrol database of known ‘bad’ sites delivers accurate, current and relevant content filtering. Web sites are carefully researched by our global team of professional researchers and categorized according to type. The list is automatically updated on a weekly basis, representing thousands of new sites a week, and aggressive quality control insures the most accurate and up-to-date list.
Advanced Filtering Technologies
Because the Internet changes by the second, and no matter how comprehensive the database of bad web sites, users will always discover new sites as they browse. That’s why CyberPatrol uses advanced filtering technologies that defend against sites that are too new to be in its database.
CyberPatrol analyzes web addresses ‘on the fly’ to discover keywords and patterns, categorizes them to identify offensive sites, and can also filter inappropriate search engine requests. CyberPatrol technology also dynamically reviews site content and HTML source code of sites that are not yet included in the database. Using sophisticated formulas to analyze the text and links contained on a Web page and in its HTML code, it applies a category to the page, and blocks it if desired.
Flexible Filtering
Options Use CyberPatrol’s 'ready-to-go' filtering, or customize for each user. You can fine-tune the filtering by choosing to allow or block specific sites, or sites that contain specific words in their web address.
Pre-set Filter Strengths
For simple installation and set-up, CyberPatrol allows you to select age-specific filtering protection for each user. Choose from pre-set filter strengths including Child, Young Teen, Mature Teen, and Adult.
Choose Categories to Block
Choose to block categories of the highest-risk sites on the Internet. Select from 13 commonly blocked categories including things like Adult, Chat, Drugs, Gambling, and Weapons. You can also fine-tune the filtering level for each category, from the lowest (Allow All) to the strongest (Maximum), and change the filtering levels for each user.
Override Mode
Quickly and easily override active filtering settings. The password-protected Override Mode gives you unfiltered access to the Internet on a temporary basis. The Instant Override option can also be offered to users on blocked pages, giving you temporary access to pages that have been blocked, either because the page belongs to a blocked category or because time restrictions have been exceeded.
Limit Access to Programs
CyberPatrol lets you restrict access to specific programs on your PC, like chat, instant messaging and games; or block access to ‘off-limits’ programs like home finance packages.
Restrict Chat & Instant Messaging
Chat and instant messaging programs are a great way to talk to friends or even make new ones, but you need to safeguard against online predators and prevent personal information from being revealed.
Control Program Downloads
Downloading programs from the Internet is an increasing security nightmare. Stop indiscriminate downloads by locking down your PC to eliminate the worry.
Flexible User Profiles
Manage Internet access for any number of users on a PC. CyberPatrol also easily integrates with existing user names in both Windows XP and Vista.
Unlimited Users
Create as many user profiles (accounts) as you need, in order to apply different filtering levels to different users. An easy-to-use wizard leads you through the process step by step. This is ideal for families who use the same computer, but want to allow the adults to access the Internet on a less restrictive basis than the children. Setting up your own profile will enable you to surf as you wish, but also limit access for others.
Integrate with Windows User Names
If you’re using Windows XP or Vista, you can apply the Windows profiles you’ve already set up on your computer to CyberPatrol. This will automatically launch the CyberPatrol user profile that applies to whoever has logged in to Windows.
Create a Pre-Approved List of Sites
CyberPatrol lets you restrict your child’s surfing to a pre-approved ‘Yes List’ of sites that you select. It’s easy to create, and ideal for parents of very young kids.
Monitor Internet Activity
Monitoring and reporting is an important part of taking control of your family’s Internet access. CyberPatrol provides detailed reports of each user’s internet activity.
CyberPatrol provides detailed reports for each user on web pages visited, time and length of visit, and whether the page was allowed or blocked. You can view and save weekly and daily summaries. All activity data is password-protected and securely stored, to prevent unauthorized access.
In addition, the real-time Activity Monitor provides details of sites visited, images viewed, and the program that requested it. Any recorded Web address can be viewed, highlighted and added to a user’s allowed or blocked list. The Activity Summary shows how many of the pages viewed have been blocked, how many web pages were blocked then overridden by the user, and how much time was spent online.
Limit Time Online
Time management ends the frustration of not knowing how long your child has been online, or whether they’ve been using specific programs like games. Get peace of mind knowing you have predetermined time rules.
Protect Your Personal Information
Protecting your family’s personal information is a critical concern on the Internet. Help safeguard against predators and identity thieves by stopping users from revealing personal information online, and blocking access to malicious web sites.
Block Transmission of Private Data
Kids spend time in chat rooms and on social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace, where personal information is often shared freely. You can easily set up rules so that private information like names, addresses, phone numbers, and credit card information is blocked from leaving your computer.
Protect Against Phishing and Spyware
The CyberPatrol database of ‘bad’ sites includes known phishing sites, to keep you away from sites that pretend to be well-known trusted companies and trick you into revealing personal information. Known spyware sites are also included in the database, to help prevent you from visiting sites that can install malicious software on your PC, placing your personal information at risk and compromising the performance of your computer.
