Web Site Zapper is a Windows 95/98/2000/ME/XP/Vista
software program (does not work on NT) that closes or
redirects Web browsers that are displaying undesirable Web
sites. That is, when people go to an undesirable Web site,
Web Site Zapper can either close down the browser entirely
or it can redirect the browser to a page you select. 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 operate in either of two modes. It 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). You would use Block Mode if you want to allow
general browsing, but block access to some objectionable
sites. You would use Allow Mode if you want to restrict
access to a few specific sites or subjects. The Allow mode
is most common for businesses, where the work requires the
employees to access certain sites, but the employers do
not want the employees doing general Web surfing on
company time.
Titles and URLs on the lists can be very general.
For example, you can block any site whose title contains
"gambling" or "casino". You can allow any site whose title
contains your company name. Likewise, URLs can be broad,
such as allowing any URL that contains "google.com". This
allows you to easily set broad parameters for good and bad
sites if you like. If you prefer, you can make the good
and bad site titles and URLs as specific as you like.
