E-mail, FTP sites, Instant Messaging, ICQ, Newsgroups, etc can also be restricted.
In addition to restricting internet activity BrowseControl includes an Application Blocker, which allows you to specify program applications you want to block the user from running. This can be useful in preventing users from using games, messaging programs, P2P applications or any unauthorised software.
* Academic Use:
BrowseControl is an easy-to-use program solution that enables YOU to decide where and when students can access the internet. Browse Control gives you the control to enable and disable internet access on each PC or a group of PCs.
Another problem addressed is the installing/downloading of program e.g. Kazaa or confidential documents. Our software blocker, CD and Floppy Drives locking can enforce your organisations program usage policy.
The Screen, Keyboard and Mouse Blocking will assist with a more attentive classroom.
* Corporate Use:
BrowseControl enables you to set limits on your employees' access to time-wasting Web activities while still permitting them to reach the sites they need to conduct business. With Browse Control you can totally block internet for some users or restrict access to only those websites which your employees need to access during working hours. You can also control the internet by blocking any website that you don't want anyone visiting.
The Application Blocking feature lets companies build a "blocked list" of applications that users will no longer be able to launch from their PCs. Using BrowseControl, administrators can quickly and easily block users from running dangerous, time-wasting or nuisance applications such as Kazaa, instant-messaging programs or specific games. BrowseControl is bullet proof since it uses the software's internal Original Filename, so power users who decide to re-name their .exe files to scam BrowseControl won't make it.
In addition, restricting or blocking certain software, CD/Floppy drive, etc can significantly improve user productivity and prevent unauthorised program use.
* End Users Pop-up message
BrowseControl includes a popup message when your users try to access an un-authorised site. This message will popup if the Internet is turned OFF and users try to access the Internet. It will also popup if your users try to access a blocked Site at any time.
* Import/Export of Lists
By allowing you to Import/Export lists from within the product you will be able to easily transfer Blocked lists, Allowed Lists and Application Blocking Lists.
* This will be very useful for customers who have multiple installations to manage and it also allows you to backup the information to prevent any data loss.
BrowseControl reduces the burden on I.T. Technical staff since all the features can be locally managed by departmental managers and teachers who can enable/disable Internet access at departmental, classroom or individual PC level, or block unauthorised program such as games or any software which is a nuisance or dangerous.
Control what times certain program can be used or completely block usage of certain applications to stop the abuse of software. This will help enforce your computer use policy.
* Specify program applications to be blocked.
* Internal name of Program used i.e. will work even if user renames the .exe file.
BrowseControl has three components:
Server Component: This component includes a Server Service and Database. This allows PCs to be connected to a central location at all times and thus schedules can be made and applied at all times.
Console Component: This component is the Management Console that allows the Administrator, Manager or Teacher to control internet access to Client PCs. This console can be installed on any compliant Windows system (server or workstation).
A password can be set on the Browse Control Console so that you will be prompted for your Password when trying to run the Console. This will secure the server from being used by any unauthorised user.
Additional security can be set to that "Administrators" can be defined and thus having full control over the system. "Users" can also eb define which will give them limited access to the configuration of BrowseControl yet still allowing them to control internet access and use other features.
Client Component - to be installed on all PCs that need to be managed by BrowseControl.
The client is password protected and can also be hidden for extra security. Installation is provided in MSI format so that installation is very easy. It can be installed manually on each PC, by Microsoft Active Directory Group Policy, Software Distribution Tools or by login script . The client runs transparently on the PC.
