CyberPatrol is a brand of parental control software that is available in a number of versions. It is among the most known and useful tools for protecting your children and is designed to work with Windows computers. CyberPatrol is client-based and works independent of the browser. It is equipped with a number of filtering tools that can all work together to ensure that your child surfs the Internet safely.
CyberPatrol makes use of what is known as the CyberLIST, which is a database of categories where the software bases it decision of whether to block or to allow a website from displaying. Newsgroups and image results of search engines are also filtered by CyberPatrol. The CyberLIST can also be modified by adding more sites to be blocked, and it also gets updated regularly.
When it comes to chat sessions and instant messaging, CyberPatrol can either block them entirely or only those from particular services. They can also be filtered to keep the user's personal details from being seen. The filter may also work by removing messages that are inappropriate.
You also have the option of creating a “YES List,” composed of different websites that can be viewed by the other users of your PC. This serves as a restriction for them, as they may not visit other pages not on the list. This setting is ideal so that parents may feel safe letting their young kids surf the Internet.
In CyberPatrol, you can also adjust the strength of the active filters based on predefined settings for different age brackets. These settings can also be modified to your preferences whenever you want. In stealth settings, CyberPatrol can display a generic message that the page cannot be loaded. You can choose between 12 types of pages and you can also incorporate an overwrite option to allow access to that site by entering a password.
These above-mentioned tools are merely reflective of the filtering capabilities of CyberPatrol; this software has other features aside from filtering contents.
