The Web content filtering allows you to set a list of web pages to which the users will (or will not) be allowed to access, regardless of the filter that was applied to them. To do this follow the steps below:
1. Click on the Platinum Internet Security icon (the bear icon) in the Windows system tray (next to the computer clock).
2. A window will appear, which will allow you to access the Automatic protection settings.
3. Click on Settings in the Web content filtering section.
4. In the window that appears, select a user and click on Other settings… to add website addresses to the whitelists and blacklists.
The window that appears has two different sections: Website blacklist and Website whitelist. Add the websites you wish to block to the Website blacklist. Remember that the websites you add to this list will be blocked regardless of the filter you applied to the user. On the other hand, if you want to allow users to access certain websites, you can add them to the Website whitelist. As in the previous case, websites added to the whitelist will be allowed regardless of the content filter that was applied to the user.
The following options are available:
· Add a website to the lists: Click on New… to add a new website to any of the lists that you wish to edit (whitelist or blacklist), and type the website address.
· Remove a website from the list: To remove a website address from the list, select it and click on Delete.
· Edit a website address: To do this select the website address you want to change and click on Edit.
Once you have configured this, when a users attempt to view a website that is on their blacklist, a message will be displayed indicating that access to the website is not authorised.
