A team of professional researchers manage SiteCAT, the categorization engine that provides a current list of new sites with objectionable and harmful content. SiteCAT constantly checks Internet sites, adding them to the relevant CyberPatrol categories as they appear. This means that your category list should be updated on a regular basis to make sure that you always have the full list of current websites. By default the lists are updated automatically but you can set the Update to Manual, so it will only occur when you want it to. The Product Update screen enables you to specify when you want these updates to take place:
- Daily (recommended) - Update occurs every 24 hours provided the computer is running and someone is accessing the Internet at this time. If there is no Internet access within this time span then the update will take place as soon as possible.
- Time to wait - Length of time CyberPatrol will wait before starting to download a new list, if an update has not taken place in the last 24 hours.. The Time to wait counter starts as soon as someone accesses the Internet.
- Weekly - List updates occurs each week at a set time, providing the computer is connected to the Internet at this time. If the computer is not online, then the update will take place as soon as the computer has access to the Internet.
- Manual only - Update occurs when the Update Now button in the Manual Update section is clicked. The update process then starts immediately, providing there is a connection to the Internet.
Note: With both Daily and Weekly updates, the update process waits for 10 minutes before starting, once the computer accesses the Internet. You can change the time lapse within the Update Categories screen.
- Manual update section - Contains the Update Now button. If you select the Manual only option in the Automatic Update section, you must click the Update Now button for the update to occur.
- List Information pane - Contains information relating to the version of each of the lists that you have in place. By checking this list you can see whether your lists have updated successfully.
