Web Site Zapper

    Web Site Zapper is a software program for Windows 95, 98, 2000, ME, XP and Vista (does not work on NT) that allows you to control Web access. It can block Web browsers from displaying any Web sites that you do not add to an allowed Web site list. Alternately, it can block sites that you do add to a forbidden site list. It can be used for several purposes:

1) Blocking your browser from being redirected to dangerous or undesirable sites, such as those infected with viruses.
2) Blocking popups
3) Block Web sites, allowing parents, schools, and employers to prevent children, students, or employees from going to undesirable sites, such as pornography or gambling sites.
4) Controlling when people can access the Internet. Web Site Zapper has a password protected switch to turn off blocking, so you simply have Web Site Zapper block all Web sites until you are present and can turn off the blocking. Parents can use this to control how much time children spend on the Internet.
    With Web Site Zapper, you compile a list of good and bad Web site titles and/or URLs (Web addresses). You can add Web site titles and URLs to these lists manually, or have Web Site Zapper build these lists automatically in learning mode (explained in the instruction manual).
    Once you have built a list of Web sites, Web Site Zapper can either close down any site on the bad site list (Block mode), or close down any site NOT on the good site list (Allow mode). For more information on Web Site Zapper and to download a trial copy, click here.
