Child Protector Internet Filter ™
Porn Blocker Internet Filter Software
© 1995 - 2005 A1Tech, Inc. Software, All Rights Reserved
Child Protector Internet Filter internet filter software is made to protect children from pornographic web content. Because Child Protector Internet Filter filters out adult web sites, it can be used extensively at home, in schools, libraries, and businesses offices. Currently Child Protector Internet Filter automatically filters out almost 500,000 porn web sites. We update this list frequently and you get free automatic Internet Updates. You can also easily customize this list and add web sites which you don't want children to see.
In addition, Child Protector Internet Filter filters out the Internet material by blocking some offensive words. You can also predefine special words, so that your children can not see any Internet page containing any of those words. On the other hand, adults, who have the password, can surf internet without restraint.
Child Protector Internet Filter keeps a complete log of all web sites visited. It also takes screen shots every 10 minutes or so (you decide). You can always access the complete log of the computer history. The following Quick Start guide will guide you through the installation of Child Protector Internet Filter 2.1 and will show you how to use some of the key product features.
