Once you activate the Safety Center and install the Scanner on the appropriate PC, you are ready to select applications and safeguard levels for your computer and, if you want, individual users. CyberPatrol uses selectable preset levels for young children, pre-teen, teen, and adult. Selecting a preset option will automatically set all filtering and alert levels. For example, Children will have more restrictions and monitoring and Adults will have less.

You also have the option to create Shared Profiles with settings you select. Shared Profiles can be used with all users. You can modify any preset to refine the level of protection for a particular user. This creates a custom profile that is only available to that user.
