Fact: Black-List Internet Filters Really Do Not Work
So, Is 100% Safe-Internet Browsing Possible?
What is a 'Black List' for safe internet browsing? - Most popular internet filtering software blocks bad web sites using a 'black list'. A 'black list' is a list of identified bad web sites that are known to display pornography or violent material. Usually this is maintained by a group of individuals who routinely browse the internet locating these bad web sites then adding them to this list.
When you buy this software, usually you have to manually update these massive lists of thousands of bad sites. This may even cost more money requiring updates with annual or monthly 'subscription fees'. Most often one is not allowed to view and customize these filter lists, so little or no choice of what is filtered is offered.
Why do 'Black List' programs NOT work effectively? - Is has been estimated that each day over 10,000 pornography web sites are added to the internet. It is simply impossible for all these to be added to a black list quickly and effectively. Updates to these lists just cannot be done fast enough. Thus black lists simply cannot work to provide 100% safe internet. Even Congressional hearings have concluded this method is unreliable for 100% safe internet for parents, children, schools, and businesses.
Is there a way to achieve 100% Safe Internet browsing? - Yes! One may restrict browsing to only a 'white list' or a list of websites known to be 100% safe from pornography or violence.
ActivatorDesk utilizes an onboard database server system with more than 16,000 of the most popular, safe and productive web sites on the internet. It is a 'white list' built-in portal you may install and run right on your own desktop computer. You may achieve virtually 100% safe internet browsing. ActivatorDesk includes the most popular sites for both adults and children. And you may add your own safe sites to this list. Further, you may view and customize this safe internet access.
To use safe site lists within the ActivatorDesk desktop portal simply turn on boot security and uncheck 'Unrestricted Browsing' and check the safe site list for the user to be logged into the desktop. (InfoGrid, KidGrid, PreSchool...) For more information click more
