10 Free Tools to Filter and Block Porn on the Internet
SEE ALSO:

A computer with an Internet connection is able to expose your
children to everything both good and bad that is on the world wide web
unless you have some kind of parental control software installed 
to automatically filter out bad or questionable websites such as 
pornography, violence, gambling and etc. Most of the time, 
software that can block porn uses two methods to detect bad websites 
which is through keywords and a blocklist. Most of the time the 
keywords don't really need to be updated other than periodically 
adding new keywords. As for a blocklist, it requires constant maintenance 
which is why some of the popular parental control software such as 
NetNanny and CyberPatrol are subscription based software and not a
one time payment for a lifetime license.
These dangerous websites not only pollute the young minds but 
they are also a common source for malware spreading. Browsing through 
free porn sites may get you infected by rogueware that tries to trick you 
thinking that your computer is infected so you'll buy their fake antivirus 
software to remove them or ransomware that locks up your computer
and only will unlock upon payment. To automatically block pornography
websites, here are 10 free tools. If you want to try and block porn and other
questionable content at a lower level,blocking via DNS is another option.
1. PicBlock
PicBlock is an innovative porn blocking tool where it uses keywords and 
image detection algorithm to recognize the availability of nudity on the 
website or even on hard drive and then blocks it. When your child visits any
website, PicBlock will first scan for any sexually explicit keywords on the 
URL and webpage. The page will be blocked if there are found keywords 
but if none, it uses a secondary method which is scanning the images on 
the webpage for possible nudity and then blurring it by pixelating the photo.
PicBlock comes with self defense and invisibility feature. In at Settings, 
you can find the ability to password protect the program and also to run it 
in silent mode where only a shortcut key can launch the settings window.
PicBlock clams to be able to detect pornographic images on the hard 
drive as well but unfortunately it doesn't work very well in Windows 7. 
The blocked images doesn't show up as thumbnail, but can still be 
opened with an image viewer. Moreover there are periodic crashes on 
Explorer and Task Manager. The more tech savvy child may be able to 
bypass PicBlock by simply terminating the process with Task Manager or
just uninstall it.
Download PicBlock
2. BlockSmart
BlockSmart is a simple to use yet powerful software to block inappropriate
websites on computer. When you try to access a blocked website, your web
browser will show a red stop sign with an optional login to add
the site to the allowed list.
This program is tied to your BlockSmart online account where you
will be prompted to create one during installation. Even the settings
area that you can select the category of website to block is at their 
website as well. It is possible to add custom websites to the block or allow list.
We used the word powerful because a valid password is required to
disable blocking, exit or uninstall. It is also not possible to kill 
the process because doing that will automatically relaunch the program. 
However there is a huge drawback where BlockSmart only works on 
Internet Explorer while other web browsers has no effect. We also 
experienced some error popups during Windows startup.
Download BlockSmart
3. Blue Coat K9 Web Protection
K9 Web Protection by Blue Coat is one of the most popular free 
software to block porn and other unwanted contents on the Internet. 
It is basically a local web filter that runs on port 2572 that scans for
every URL that you visit on your web browser and taking necessary 
actions based on the rules. When you access a website that belongs 
to a blocked category, an alert page will be loaded instead with the
option of allowing this site or category if you know the password.
Although K9 Web Protection installer is only 1.9MB in size, but it
is packed with features such as selecting the categories to block, 
implementing time restrictions, always allow and block list, URL 
keywords and forcing safe search option in search engines. You can
also view what URLs that has been visited so you know what websites
your children are visiting.
Because K9 Web Protection runs as a local filter, it will work on any 
web browsers. It runs without any tray icon at the notification area and 
it is not possible to terminate the k9filter.exe using Task Manager.
Disabling or uninstalling the program will require a valid password. 
If you forget the password, there is an option at the uninstaller to send
a temporary password to your email that is registered with your
protection license. The best part is, even if your child somehow knew
the password and uninstalled the program from their computer, you will
receive an email notification informing you about it.
Download Blue Coat K9 Web Protection
4. Microsoft Family Safety
Family Safety is a free parental control software that is part of 
Windows Essentials by Microsoft. It is a very powerful program that 
is tightly integrated with Windows and offers additional features that
are not commonly found on other porn blocking software. Accessing a 
blocked page will show that "this page is blocked" message together
with the option to email you request and ask in person.
To use and configure Windows Live Family Safety, you must first 
login with a Hotmail/Live/Outlook account and then you get to select 
the user account in Windows to monitor. In order to use most of the 
features in Family Safety, you will need to create a standard user 
account and not use one that belongs to the administrators group. 
The reason is they will be restricted from uninstalling Family Safety or 
force terminate the process. At the Family Safety website, you get to 
customize the web filtering levels, block file downloads, custom allow 
and block list, activity reporting, time limits, game and app restrictions.
Do take note that if you only want to install the Family Safety, 
make sure you select "Choose the programs you want to install" option 
and only tick the checkbox for Family Safety or else all the 
Windows Essentials program will be installed. Overall, Family Safety 
is a very nice parental control software that's free but the initial 
configuration may not be easy for basic users.
Download Family Safety
5. Qustodio
Other than just filtering bad websites, Qustodio parental control software
comes with an additional capability of monitoring your children's 
social interactions, listing searches, apps usage and web activity.
Qustodio configuration is done on the web and the settings are 
automatically sync to the computer. By logging in to the family 
protection portal, you get to view the activity summary and 
timeline, and configure the rules & settings. You can either select block, 
allow or monitor on the website categories, adding custom exceptions, 
blocking unknown websites that cannot be categorized, and also
enforcing safe search. You can also enable scheduling to set a 
limit for your child to use the Internet. It has strong protection
against tampering where even advanced users won't be able 
to bypass the filtering and limits.
During installation, it will ask to install a safety toolbar and 
changing your default search provider. You can uncheck both of
the options then click Accept and Install button because Qustodio
does not need both of that to function. Weirdly, you also have
the option to hide Qustodio from computer during installation but 
we could not find a way to re-enable that option when the program is installed.
Download Qustodio
6. Kurupira WebFilter
Kurupira WebFilter is one of the free anti porn software that comes
with a good amount of features which makes it very configurable. 
Other than just blocking bad websites and also applications, it can
also block instant messengers such as Google Talk, Windows
Live Messenger and also social networking websites such as Facebook, 
Twitter and etc. 
It can also automatically take screenshots in interval and 
set time limits. If you go to the Settings, you can find email 
notification options where you can be notified when a website 
or application has been blocked.
One of the feature that we really liked is the application 
exception where an application added to the list will be ignored
by Kurupira WebFilter. Normally an anti pornography software
only has an on or off switch where you either turn it on, or 
completely off. You can probably use a portable version of 
Firefox so it does not intervene with the settings.
Take note during installation where an option will be selected by 
default to change your web browser's homepage to Kurupira's. 
Kurupira WebFilter does have some tampering system where the
filtering system will still continue to function even after terminated
the process, password protection and enabling the stealth mode
to hide the tray icon. The only drawback is the software can be
easily uninstalled without any restriction which makes it very easy to bypass.
Download Kurupira WebFilter
7. netCheckPost
netCheckPost may be your choice if you are looking for a really easy
to use software that will simply block porn websites. After installing 
the program, there is no settings to configure the program and you
can only enable or disable the filtering by right clicking on the tray 
icon at the notification area. You are required to set a master 
password during installation and it is required if you want to
disable or uninstall the program. Terminating the process will 
still continue to block bad websites.
Download netCheckPost
8. WebPatrol
The free edition of WebPatrol is like the smaller brother of 
the PRO version that comes only with website and application 
filtering and time controls. 
As for the PRO version, it cost $29.95 and it is a full fledged 
parental control software that comes with keylogger and 
screenshot capturing that may be a little intrusive. 
Unlike most of the anti porn software, WebPatrol does not 
show the user that they are accessing a blocked website and
simply shows a white blank web page. There are 7 banned 
categories and also custom banned or allowed websites. 
Application filtering allows you to prohibit running of web browser or
chat programs and even custom list.
WebPatrol has some characteristics of a powerful invisible keylogger
because it can only be uninstalled from the program's menubar 
(File > Uninstall…). 
It also supports custom hotkeys to launch the user interface or
from the RUN window. WebPatrol would be perfect if the filtering
still works even after terminating the cprotect.exe process from task manager.
Download WebPatrol
9. Drainware Parental Control
Drainware PC is a free and open source parental control software
that is hosted on SourceForge. It acts as a local proxy 
server where the web browsers are automatically configured to
route the connections to a localhost proxy address and the proxy
options are disabled from being changed or tampered. You can
block websites based from a list of categories, apply black and 
white list, and also control the file extensions that you want to block.
The filtering will only work if the web browser is set to use the 
localhost proxy and major web browsers such as Firefox, Internet Explorer,
Safari and Chrome works fine except for Opera. In fact it is easy 
to bypass Drainware PC's restriction by using a portable version of
Firefox and set the connection settings to no proxy. You should also
refrain from using Drainware PC is your computer gets the Internet
connection from a proxy server because the software overwrites the
connection settings. Accessing to any of the options requires a valid
password but there is a flaw where it can be easily uninstalled 
without a password by running "Drainware PC Uninstaller.exe" file 
located at the C:drainware hidden folder. Out all 10 anti porn software,
Drainware installation file is the largest at nearly 70MB in size.
Download Drainware Parental Control
10. Stop P-O-R-N
Stop P-O-R-N is a slightly stricter parental control software that 
simply terminates the web browser when it detects a blocked 
website being loaded on the web browser. Other than that, accessing
the program's folder, or Windows utilities such as regedit and task 
manager will be terminated as well. Other than just stopping porn, 
it can also stop file sharing and chatting programs from running. 
There are three protection levels to select at the options and it 
also comes with a simple keylogger.
By default, Stop P-O-R-N is installed in public user's documents 
folder and it comes with a "security measure" feature where it will 
try to prevent from being tampered. For example, the program will 
automatically terminate Windows Task Manager or Registry Editor
when it is launched. Even if you try to access the program's folder
that is installed in the Document's folder, the explorer will be 
closed as well. If you find this security feature a little too annoying, 
it can be disabled in the configuration options by checking the 
"Disable Security Measures" checkbox. A simple way to bypass 
Stop P-O-R-N is to use the taskkill command in command prompt
to end the it.exe and halth.exe processes.
Download Stop P-O-R-N
Additional Note: We tested Norton Family by Symantec and 
it is very unstable because we couldn't save the settings and it
constantly prompts us to login even though we are very sure that
we entered the correct parents login credentials. We also did
not include AOL Parental Controls because it asks for a credit 
card to verify as a verification that we are over the age of 18.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (say "pah-lee-SIS-tik OH-vuh-ree SIN-drohm") is a problem in which a woman's hormones are out of balance. It can cause problems with your periods and make it difficult to get pregnant. PCOS also may cause unwanted changes in the way you look. If it isn't treated, over time it can lead to serious health problems, such as diabetes and heart disease.
Most women with PCOS grow many small cysts camera.gif on their ovaries. That is why it is called polycystic ovary syndrome. The cysts are not harmful but lead to hormone imbalances.
Early diagnosis and treatment can help control the symptoms and prevent long-term problems.
Hormones are chemical messengers that trigger many different processes, including growth and energy production. Often, the job of one hormone is to signal the release of another hormone.
For reasons that are not well understood, in PCOS the hormones get out of balance. One hormone change triggers another, which changes another. For example:
The sex hormones get out of balance. Normally, the ovaries make a tiny amount of male sex hormones (androgens). In PCOS, they start making slightly more androgens. This may cause you to stop ovulating, get acne, and grow extra facial and body hair.
The body may have a problem using insulin, called insulin resistance. When the body doesn't use insulin well, blood sugar levels go up. Over time, this increases your chance of getting diabetes.
The cause of PCOS is not fully understood, but genetics may be a factor. PCOS seems to run in families, so your chance of having it is higher if other women in your family have it or have irregular periods or diabetes. PCOS can be passed down from either your mother's or father's side.
Symptoms tend to be mild at first. You may have only a few symptoms or a lot of them. The most common symptoms are:
Acne.
Weight gain and trouble losing weight.
Extra hair on the face and body. Often women get thicker and darker facial hair and more hair on the chest, belly, and back.
Thinning hair on the scalp.
Irregular periods. Often women with PCOS have fewer than nine periods a year. Some women have no periods. Others have very heavy bleeding.
Fertility problems. Many women who have PCOS have trouble getting pregnant (infertility).
Depression. —

[www.keralites.net] CREDIT CARD

 

CREDIT CARD
Be sure and cancel your credit cards before you die! This is so priceless, and, so easy to see happening - customer service being what it is today. A lady died this past December, and the bank billed her for January and February for their annual service charges on her credit card, and added late fees and interest on the monthly charge. The balance had been $0.00 when she died, but now somewhere around $60.00. A family member placed a call to Citibank. Here is the exchange:
Family Member: I am calling to tell you she died back in January.
Citibank: The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply.
Family Member: Maybe you should turn it over to collections.
Citibank: Since it is two months past due, it already has been.
Family Member: So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?
Citibank: Either report her account to frauds division or report her to the credit bureau, maybe both!
Family Member: Do you think God will be mad at her?
Citibank: Excuse me?
Family Member: Did you just get what I was telling you - the part about her being dead?
Citibank: Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor.
Supervisor gets on the phone:
Family Member: I'm calling to tell you, she died back in January with a $0 balance.
Citibank: The account was never closed and late fees and charges still apply.
Family Member: You mean you want to collect from her estate?
Citibank: (Stammer) Are you her lawyer?
Family Member: No, I'm her great nephew. (Lawyer info was given)
Citibank: Could you fax us a certificate of death?
Family Member: Sure. (Fax number was given)
After they get the fax:
Citibank: Our system just isn't setup for death. I don't know what more I can do to help.
Family Member: Well, if you figure it out, great! If not, you could just keep billing her. She won't care.
Citibank: Well, the late fees and charges will still apply.
(What is wrong with these people?!?)
Family Member: Would you like her new billing address?
Citibank: That might help....
Family Member: Odessa Memorial Cemetery, Highway 129, Plot Number 69.
Citibank: Sir, that's a cemetery!
Family Member: And what do you do with dead people on your planet???
