FEATURES
• Comprehensive Pornography Detection
iShield®
Plus monitors your PC for pornography,
irrespective of its source. This means that all
pornography being viewed on your PC, from all
sources such as emails, USB drives, CDs, DVDs and
downloaded image files can be detected and
blocked.
This is made possible through iShield®
Plus’s
innovative image processing and neural network
based engine. iShield®
Plus extracts information
relating to skin tone, texture, edges, limbs and faces
from an image to decide if the image is potentially
pornographic.
• Monitoring Internet Content
The Internet holds a vast amount of content easily accessible
through web pages; however a lot of this content is not
appropriate for all users. iShield®
Plus therefore keeps an extra
careful watch on the web pages being viewed.
iShield®
Plus analyzes the text, images, links and meta-data
present in web pages to determine the nature of the content. If
the content is pornographic, or falls in one of the categories that
you wish to block (drugs, gambling, lingerie, etc) then iShield®
Plus
will take appropriate action.
In addition iShield®
Plus allows you to maintain your own white / black
lists for customizing those sites which can be accessed or blocked.
• Monitoring Communications
iShield®
Plus provides notification of potential grooming or bullying.
iShield®
Plus does this by monitoring everything that is typed by the
user as well as the contents of chat, Instant Messaging
communications and MS Office files.
iShield®
Plus comes with a sizable database of phrases that are
indicative of potentially harmful activities. You can add your own
phrases to this database and so customize the protection
provided.
iShield®
Plus is a unique monitoring solution that provides you with
the highest level of protection against computer based
pornography, undesirable web content and online grooming or
bullying.
iShield®
Plus allows you to control when your PC can connect to
the Internet and the applications that can be used. iShield®
Plus
also monitors productivity and safeguards personal information.

• Safe and Productive Internet and Application Usage
You can define the “surfing hours” during which your PC can connect to the Internet. Further, you
can limit access to certain applications. For example you might like to block games during study
hours. Finally, you can also block peer-to-peer file sharing applications, which as well as being a
common means for downloading pirated music and videos, also pose security risks as they often
contain spyware, viruses and malware.
iShield®
Plus provides“productivity reports”showing the amount of time different users have spent on
each application.This allows you to ensure that the PC is being used productively.
To protect any sensitive information you might have from being stolen by malicious software or
being inappropriately distributed by users, iShield®
Plus provides a personal information protection
feature.To use this feature, specify the information you wish to protect (phone numbers, credit card
details, etc) and iShield®
Plus will then block that information from being transmitted onto the
Internet.
