Web Padlock
Web Padlock is a Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP (does not work on
NT computers) program that provides Internet access control on your computer.
This gives you control over what Web pages can be viewed on your computer.
Once installed, Web Padlock blocks other Web browsers (like Internet Explorer,
Netscape, or America Online) from running. This leaves Web Padlock as the
only available Web browser. In order to view any Web page on Web Padlock
when Web Padlock is in the locked mode, that Web page must have been added
to the authorized Web page list. A user selected password is required to
add Web pages to this list. This provides the person who installs Web
Padlock with the ability to completely control access to the Internet on
that computer. This program is most useful in a business setting, where the
supervisor needs Internet access control what Web sites employees can
visit. It can also be useful in a family setting, however, to give parents
Internet access control of the computer to block children from viewing certain
sites.
Web Padlock can be unlocked using the password to allow free
Web surfing using Web Padlock. The password can also be used to turn off
the blocking of other Web browsers, like Internet Explorer. In this way,
Web Padlock can be used not only to control what sites are visited, but when
the Web can be accessed. If you decide that you do not want to use Web Padlock
at all, it can easily be uninstalled using the password. For more information

Web Site Zapper
Web Site Zapper is a Windows 95/98/2000/ME/XP software program
(does not work on NT) that closes Web browsers that are displaying undesirable
Web sites. It can be used for several purposes: 1) Blocking your browser
from being redirected to dangerous or undesirable sites, such as those infected
with viruses.
2) Blocking popups
3) Access control, to allow parents, schools, and employers to prevent children,
students, or employees from going to undesirable sites, such as pornography
or gambling sites.
4) Controlling when people can access the Internet. Web Site Zapper has a
password protected switch to turn off blocking, so you simply have Web Site
Zapper block all Web sites until you are present and can turn off the blocking.
Parents can use this to control how much time children spend on the Internet.
With Web Site Zapper, you compile a list of good and bad Web
site titles and/or URLs (Web addresses). You can add Web site titles and
URLs to these lists manually, or have Web Site Zapper build these lists
automatically in learning mode (explained in the instruction manual).
Once you have built a list of Web sites, Web Site Zapper can
either close down any site on the bad site list (Block mode), or close down
any site NOT on the good site list (Allow mode). Web Site Zapper provides
the same function as Web Padlock, but operates differently. It has some
advantages and some disadvantages. We suggest that you try both, and see
which one best suits your needs. For more information on Web Site Zapper
and to download a trial copy, click here.
Web Surfer Watcher
Web Surfer Watcher is a software program for Windows
95/98/Me/2000/XP (does not work on NT computers) that records what Web sites
have been viewed on your computer. Web Surfer Watcher operates hidden in
the background, recording Web site titles and URLs (addresses) of Web sites
viewed using Internet Explorer or America Online. It can only record the
titles of Web sites viewed with other Web browsers, such as Netscape, Opera,
or Mozilla. You can configure Web Surfer Watcher to either record this limited
information form these browsers, or block these browsers from running to
force people to use Internet Explorer or America Online.
When you run the viewer, you will see a list of the titles
of Web sites that have been visited. The list displays the Web site titles.
You can click on any title on the list to see the URL of the site, and also
when the site was viewed. You can then click on the View Web Site button
to actually see the Web site if you like. You can search the list of viewed
sites for specific words to simplify checking for objectionable sites.This
program can easily be run on a network, allowing you to monitor Internet
activity on multiple computers from one computer. For more information on
Web Surfer Watcher, click here.
