Description
SOS KIDPROOF is a software program developed strictly to help parents protect kids while surfing online. Unlike other Internet filters, KIDPROOF is context based, significantly reducing "over blocking." It never needs updating nor does it use URL databases to keep up to date. Once parents customize the key phrases they wish to avoid, it will consistently provide a safe viewing environment without the related updating hassles of other software.

Due to the flexible and easy nature of the product, parents can choose their restrictions based on individual values and beliefs. It also allows for every user to have his or her own set of guidelines. There are added features such as limiting on-line time and/or time of day. Some parents enjoy setting up a list of "safe sites" that are the only places kids can visit.

SOS KIDPROOF is the most effective way to block unwanted viewing and pornography on the Internet. Using a simple click- and-point application, parents can customize their usage and prevent any pornography from being viewed or undesired words from even being searched. SOS also features the ability to log usage and create timing restrictions for all users.

  • Thanks to this new blocking device there is no need to rely on site registration, site updates, site ratings, or site filters.
  • Administrators can choose to restrict users to selected sites.
  • Very user friendly and easy to use.
  • Can be used immediately after installation.
  • SOS's PC Captain allows parents and managers to customize Windows 95/98 settings to their particular preferences.
  • Great way for novice users to establish their settings.
  • Interface permits easy control of settings for multiple users.
  • Internet access is controlled via the same interface.
  • An incredible tool for privacy and security for networks and multiple users on one machine.
SOS KIDPROOF gives parents plenty of options, never an "all or nothing" decision.
