Publisher's description of K9 Web Protection
K9 Web Protection is easy-to-use Parental Control and Internetfiltering software that helps parents protect their children online. K9Web Protection has the ability to block adult, and other offensivecontent, prevent spyware infections, and monitor visited sites on anyInternet access connection (AOL, MSN, Yahoo, Earthlink). Based oncommercial-grade Web filtering controls from Blue Coat Systems, K9 WebProtection is unique among content filters and it is free for home use.K9 can be configured as a blocker, a spyware stopper, a gamblingfilter or various other configurations based on our over 69 Webcategories.
For a free Internet filter, K9 Web Blocker does its job well,providing a broad collection of options for customizing your remote Websupervision needs.
To run the program, you must register on the Web site to get thefree activation code. The control panel is accessible only through theInternet. Uninstalling requires removing the app from the Task Manager,then using its password to delete it from the Windows Control Panel,and finally, rebooting. Because the password gets sent to the e-mailaccount of the person who registered the program, it's possible that anenterprising user could disable K9 on a shared computer.
Despite those drawbacks, K9 comes with a handful or so ofpredesigned filters and an option to customize. With more than 50categories for organizing Web sites, and the keyword-free proprietaryK9 rating system, the Web monitoring and blocking aspects of thesoftware functioned well. K9 also has categories for blocking sitesthat have been detected as potential malware threats. Equallyimpressive, and a little bit scary, was the log that detailed not justblocked Web sites but also every Web site visited.
K9 Web Blocker is a good, free program for those who are concernedsolely with Web surfing, but the lack of a chatware filter leaves someholes for predation.
