Applications

CyberPatrol Online Protection Pro contains six applications; Web Filtering, Time Management, Safe Search, Harassment Alert, Sex Chat Alert, and Custom Alert. Web Filtering, Time Management and Custom Alert offer controls and settings that can be set and managed by the Safety Center Manager. The remaining three are either turned on or off.

The alert packages (Sex Chat, Harassment, and Custom) monitor popular chat programs and social networks looking for potentially harmful activity. You select the type of alerts that you want to use.

  • Sex Chat - Monitors chat group conversations for sexually explicit conversations
  • Harassment - Alerts you of online communications that contain language often used to harass or bully someone.
  • Custom - Monitors any name, phone number, address or words that you choose. If any custom entries show up in chats you are alerted. 

In addition, some chat programs have the ability to send and receive encrypted (scrambled) messages.  This can be an indication that something bad is being sent or received.  Therefore, when the Safety Center detects an encrypted message, it immediately sends an alert.

  • Windows Live Messenger
  • Windows Messenger
  • Yahoo Messenger
  • Facebook IM
