 Web Scan and Parental Control Feature 
 
Web Scan and Parental Control offers the following features:



Real time web site scanning and blocking.
eScan scans accessed web sites in real time. When words related to pornography, gambling or words you specify are detected in a web site the site is blocked. A message is displayed that gives reasons for blocking the site.

Screen shown below shows a typical message that is displayed when a web site is blocked as it has pornographic related contents.

Block web sites based on predefined pornographic keywords
eScan has parental control feature that allow you to control access to web sites You can specify words and phrases like xxx, porn, adults only, poker, etc. that occur in porn and gambling sites. If the accessed site contains such words, it is blocked and not allowed to display on your system. The following points are explained.

Category: Category carries related group of web sites Access to all web sites that are defined in a category can be either blocked or allowed. For e.g. the category 'Pornography' will have web sites related to porn. You can block or allow access to sites that occur in this category. Categories like pornography and gambling have been created with a block status. You can create user defined categories.

The next step is adding words related to the category.

Words/Phrases: You can add to the list of words that relate to a category. For e.g. for porn category, you can add words like babes, xxx, etc. If the category Pornography is blocked then eScan blocks any site that has words like babes, xxx, etc.

Everyday about 500 sites related to porn are added to the Internet. To avoid detection, some of the sites are also renamed. This feature ensures that when a site with such words in the content, keywords, script and tags occurs, access to the site is automatically blocked even though it has been renamed.

Site Names: Some well-known sites like playboy, hustler, etc. do not change names. You can specify such sites and access to them is blocked outright.

The feature is found in eScan Content Administrator > Webpage Scanning > Filter Categories (Frame)

Block web sites using IP Address
Web sites can be accessed by entering their IP (Internet Protocol) number. The software should be able to translate the IP number to its web site name and block access if it contains restricted words or is on the banned list.

For e.g. www.sex-circus.com can be accessed through its IP, http://198.63.10.71 when you use common Content Security software. Software's like eScan are able to translate the IP to its URL and block it.
