BrowseControl 3.2
BrowseControl is designed as the perfect solution for controlling internet and application usage in the network.
BrowseControl can totally deny access to the Internet. Or, you can allow access to specific company/classroom sites through the Allowed List feature; all other sites will be restricted. Alternatively users can be allowed access to all sites, except for those sites you list in the Blocked List. Users can also be restricted access to e-mail, FTP sites, Instant Messaging, ICQ, Newsgroups, etc..
In addition to restricting Internet activity, users can be denied access to unauthorized applications such as Kaaza, MSN Messenger, Solitaire etc… This is achieved through the App Blocker feature.
BrowseControl also provides administrators to control some of the PC components of those users who are abusing company/school policies.
