How can I create a new Web Content Filter?

 

Although Platinum Internet Security incorporates several default web content filters, on certain occasions, it may be very useful to have filters customized to your needs. Creating new filters and configuring their settings is very easy. Follow the steps below:

 

1.    Click on the Platinum Internet Security icon in the Windows system tray (next to the computer clock).

2.    A window will appear, which will allow you to configure the automatic protection settings.

3.    Click on Settings in the Web Content Filtering section.

4.    In the window that appears, click on Filters…

5.    Click on New…

6.    A window will appear, which will allow you to specify the content categories to be allowed or restricted. The drop-down list will allow you to configure this in two different ways:

 

·      Cannot access the selected categories. If this option is selected in the drop-down list, users accessing the Internet through the filter you are configuring will be allowed to access all categories, except those you select in the tree.

·      Can only access the selected categories. If this option is selected in the drop-down list, users accessing the Internet through the filter you are configuring will only be allowed to access the content categories you have selected in the tree. No other categories will be allowed.

 

If you wish to restore the default filters, click on Restore filter.
