Christianity Online Web Content Filtering uses the NetSweeper Premium engine to provide Internet filtering to our customers that already have an existing Internet connection. NetSweeper offers a unique process for filtering content on the Internet. While other filters rely solely on human reviewers to detect and harvest Web content, NetSweeper's proprietary process uses a unique combination of human review, technology, and artificial intelligence. This process eliminates "over blocking" associated with denied access to sites regarding breast cancer, sex education, religion, and health. Intelligent filtering - like the processes employed by NetSweeper - is the only way to ensure accurate categorization of Web content. FAQ - NetSweeper Parental Controls What is NetSweeper Premium Parental Controls? NetSweeper is a premium parental control tool that allows parents to select what Internet content should be filtered in the household. Parents have the ability to create multiple profiles, customize categories, and block additional applications like instant messaging, P2P, and newsgroups. How large is the software download? Currently, the NetSweeper Premium Edition download size is 1MB, resulting in very fast download time for DSL and Cable broadband users. How does NetSweeper Parental Controls filter out inappropriate content on the Internet? NetSweeper utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) technology to scan web pages in real-time. The current accuracy rate is 92-95%. If sites are not blocked initially, there is a 92-95% chance that pages will be blocked almost immediately when the user refreshes the page or goes deeper into the inappropriate website. NetSweeper also utilizes human reviewers to analyze any pages that our AI technology cannot scan. These pages are electronically submitted to our URL alert team and are updated on a 24 hour basis. What Internet content does NetSweeper Parental Controls block? NetSweeper Parental Controls filters 27 default categories of objectionable Internet related material. Please click here to view a detailed overview of our 27 categories. Does NetSweeper Parental Controls block sexual information sites? No, since NetSweeper technology is intelligent, it will not block websites relating to sexual information. For example, if a child is doing research on breast cancer, the NetSweeper technology will not block these pages. Since the NetSweeper AI technology can understand and analyze context, over-blocking and miscategorization rarely occur. The current NetSweeper false positive rate is below 1% for all 42 categories. When I use NetSweeper Parental Controls is my access now consistently filtered or can I surf the Internet freely if I wish? NetSweeper Parental Controls' user interface panel lets you disable all filtering at any time of the day. Just click on the "disable all filtering" button once you log in to the user interface panel via username and password. You, the parent, are free to surf the internet at your discretion. Is it possible for my children to bypass the filter? It is impossible for your children to bypass the filter unless you disable all filtering categories or your child discovers your password. Keep all passwords hidden at all times from your children to ensure the maximum effectiveness of this service. » Back to Christianity Online Web Content Filter Product Description  Only $6.95 per month |
