New Way to Filter Search Results

When you are searching different search engines for almost anything, chances are you will hit at least a dozen pornographic sites in your results. You may be able to figure out that these are in fact not precisely what you were looking for, however, younger web surfers may be a bit more easily fooled. Results filtering is necessary for finding relevant sites for your search, and one software developer is helping to keep the porn out of the results. Guardware, a leading developer of anti-pornography software, announced today that iShield, the company?s application for blocking pornography in web browsers, received praise in an online review by PC Magazine.

iShield was lauded in the February 15th review for its ability to prevent users, particularly children, from viewing questionable content when browsing the Internet. iShield uses a patented technology to dynamically identify and block offensive images in real time. Noted for its image-recognition capabilities, ease-of-use, and range of administrative options, the software can also warn users they are being monitored or record online activities silently.

This alternative to traditional list-driven web filtering products is both comprehensive and cost-effective. Unlike like most web filtering products, iShield has a one-time license charge and does not require users to pay on-going fees for updates. Both iShield and ScreenShield?, Guardware?s solution for enterprise-wide pornography protection, support all major web browsers including Microsoft? Internet Explorer?, Netscape, Firefox and Mozilla. The software is easy to set up and gives users the flexibility to determine the level of control appropriate for any designated audience.
