Enable and Disable Internet Usage to Control Surfing on PCs
Browse Control helps you restrict inappropriate surfing and enforce Internet usage policies in your organisation. Browse Control can: completely block internet, allow access only to Web sites you specify, denying access to any domain you enter, schedule internet ON at only certain times of day. E-mail, FTP sites, Instant Messaging, ICQ, Newsgroups, etc can also be restricted.
In addition to restricting internet activity, the latest version now includes an Application Blocker, which allows you to specify software applications you want to block the user from running. This can be useful in preventing users from using games, messaging programs, P2P applications or any unauthorized software.
Academic EnvironmentsCommercial Environments
In an Educational environment where all the desktops are equipped with free and easy access to the internet, it can be very difficult for teachers to keep control and students focused on the lesson.

In addition, PC resources are often occupied for long periods by students surfing when PCs should be available to students wishing to use them for coursework, etc.

Browse Control is an easy to use software solution that enables YOU to decide where and when students can access the internet.

Browse Control gives you the control to enable and disable internet access on each PC or a group of PCs.

You can also schedule ON or OFF times during the day when you wish to make internet access available.

The ability to allow access only to certain sites e.g. sites specific to school projects or your intranet. Email and messaging can also be restricted.

You can also enhance (or start your own) web filtering by denying internet access for specific domains.

Another problem addressed is the use of unauthorised software e.g. games software, chat software, P2P applications such as Kazaa, etc. Our Application blocker can enforce your organisations software usage policy.
The average office worker spends at least one to two hours per day browsing the Web to shop, view sports, stocks, porn, play games, look for another job or performs other non-work related web activities such as chat, email friends, etc..

Such activity is often irresistible for those with unlimited Internet access. However, this uncontrolled access leads to unproductive workers which can result in decreasing corporate revenues. Furthermore, some of the material employees access can also expose the company to legal issues which pose a threat to the business.

Browse Control enables you to set limits on your employees' access to time-wasting Web activities while still permitting them to reach the sites they need to conduct business.

With Browse Control you can completely block internet for some users or restrict access to only allowed work related sites during working hours. if you wish, you can provide e.g. unlimited access after work or lunch hours using the Scheduler.

You can also deny access to certain sites that your employees are more likely to visit and spend time on, e.g. Hotmail, Bored.com. You can also enhance existing filtering software, and use the Black list to block the few tricky sites that get through.
