Web Site Zapper
-
Version
1.1
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.
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.
