K9 Web Protection: The Ultimate Parental Control and Internet Filtering Software

In today's digital age, the internet has become an integral part of our lives. It has revolutionized the way we communicate, learn, work and entertain ourselves. However, with all its benefits come some serious risks, especially for children who are vulnerable to online threats such as cyberbullying, inappropriate content and online predators.

As a parent or guardian, it is your responsibility to ensure that your child is safe while using the internet. This is where K9 Web Protection comes in handy. K9 Web Protection is a powerful parental control and internet filtering software that helps parents protect their children from online dangers.

What is K9 Web Protection?

K9 Web Protection is an easy-to-use software that allows you to filter web content based on categories such as adult content, gambling sites or social networking sites. It also blocks spyware infections and monitors visited sites on any Internet access connection (AOL, MSN, Yahoo!, Earthlink). Based on commercial-grade web filtering controls from Blue Coat Systems – a leading provider of web security solutions – K9 Web Protection offers unparalleled protection against online threats.

How does it work?

K9 Web Protection works by analyzing every website your child visits in real-time against its extensive database of over 69 categories of websites. If a website falls under one of these categories (such as adult content), it will be blocked automatically by the software.

You can also customize the settings according to your preferences by creating custom lists of allowed or blocked websites or setting time restrictions for internet usage.

4) Real-time monitoring: The software monitors visited sites in real-time so you can keep track of what your child is doing online at all times.

5) Free for home use: Unlike other parental control software which require payment after a trial period expires; K9 web protection offers free home use without any hidden costs.

Review

For a free Internet filter, K9 Web Blocker does its job well, providing a broad collection of options for customizing your remote Web supervision needs.

To run the program, you must register on the Web site to get the free activation code. The control panel is accessible only through the Internet. 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-mail account of the person who registered the program, it's possible that an enterprising user could disable K9 on a shared computer.

Despite those drawbacks, K9 comes with a handful or so of predesigned filters and an option to customize. With more than 50 categories for organizing Web sites, and the keyword-free proprietary K9 rating system, the Web monitoring and blocking aspects of the software functioned well. K9 also has categories for blocking sites that have been detected as potential malware threats. Equally impressive, and a little bit scary, was the log that detailed not just blocked Web sites but also every Web site visited.

K9 Web Blocker is a good, free program for those who are concerned solely with Web surfing, but the lack of a chatware filter leaves some holes for predation.
