The Web Content Filter allows the computer supervisor to prevent other computer users from viewing inappropriate web content on the Internet. This is achieved by applying content filters (kids filter, teens filter, employees filter, etc.).
The supervisor can either apply different types of default filters, or create new customized filters. In addition, the Web content filter will also allow you to set a list of web pages to which other computer users will (or will not) be allowed to access, regardless of the filter that was applied to them (white lists and black lists).
You can access the Web content filter in two different ways: from the Platinum Internet Security main window, or from the program icon in the Windows system tray (next to the computer clock).
To access the Web content filter from the Platinum Internet Security main window follow the steps below:
1. Select Automatic protection from the control panel in the program window.
2. In the right panel of the window, a list will appear containing all Platinum Internet Security protections. In the Web content filter section click on Settings (this option is only displayed when the Web content filter is installed).
3. A screen will appear where you will be able to enable or disable the Web content filter. Click on the Settings button to access the Web Content Filter configuration.
If this protection is not installed, you will be able to install it at any time from the Automatic protection section. To do this, click on the Install option that will appear in the Web Content Filter section. This will launch a wizard that will guide you through the process.
To access the Web content filter from the Platinum Internet Security icon in the Windows system tray follow the steps below:
1. Click on the Platinum Internet Security icon in the Windows system tray (next to the computer clock).
2. A screen will appear, which will allow you to access the automatic protection settings.
3. Click on the Settings button in the Web content filter section.
Once you have accessed the settings, you can indicate the users to whom a filter will be applied. In addition, from this screen you will also be able to access the rest of the configuration options.
