Protecting children online
Brightfilter Parental Control protects all family members from inappropriate content online and risks such as identity theft, spam and phishing. Offensive and harmful sites are identified using data from established organisations including McAfee, the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) and the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF.) Over 90 website categories are available to provide comprehensive protection against a wide range of inappropriate content, including illegal extreme material, criminal activity, drugs, sexual content, violence and profanity. Parents can also block social networking sites and instant messaging services to prohibit children from engaging with strangers online.

Brightfilter Parental Control is easy to use and can be set up in less than a minute. Users can customise the software by creating individual profiles for each family member to filter internet content according to user age. Parents can also limit access by time of day, to stop children from surfing the web at night or during homework time. Brightfilter surpasses traditional web filtering solutions with its fast and efficient online database. With around the clock updates and data gathered in over 60 languages, families can be sure that they are receiving the very best level of protection.

The software's Remote Control feature allows parents to update family profiles from any location with an internet connection. These changes automatically apply to a maximum of three PCs in a household using Brightfilter, offering a quick and easy solution to comprehensive online protection. Brightfilter also offers free telephone and email support to provide users with assistance if needed.
