Improve your online safety through Internet filters

Wednesday, January 20, 2010

Did you knew that instant messaging is one of the most known methods used by hackers, worm virus, identify thieves, online predators and cyber stalkers to attack your safety and your computer. Most attacks are accomplished through programs used everyday such as MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ, AIM, Skype, eMule, iTunes, individual web sites, peer-to-peer file sharing and more.

If you are worried about your safety, the safety of your children or the security of your computer, then you should start taking extra measures to improve it. IM Lock is a service designed to protect Internet users against such threats. You can see it as an internet filter that improves your desktop security by controlling the access to unwanted information. Therefore, you can simply filter internet content by blocking any popular service listed above all of the time, or according to a schedule of your choosing.

This service is only a complement to the existing Internet firewalls and anti-virus measures. Firewalls and anti-virus programs alone can't stop a persistent user who wants to chat, trade files, or visit disallowed web sites.
