How the Program Works and What it can do!
PcGuardian can control both the content that can be viewed and the Hours that the computer can be operated, as well as keep a log of all viewed pages. All of these features can be overridden by using your Password. The purpose of the program is to prevent access to objectionable or private material that is either stored on the computer or comes in online. This is accomplished by comparing keywords and phrases with the words contained in the Title Bar of the currently active window. [Keywords for blocking pornography are already built into the system and are not accessible. Additional keywords can be entered and removed by the password holder.] If a match is found the window will be closed. A separate entry for users, that do not have the password, to add their own keywords is available through a HotKey. Provision is available to password holders to turn the filters off when desired.
The TimeKeeper portion of the program allows you to Set the Start and Stop time that the computer will operate. An attempt to operate the computer at a time that is outside of these hours will result in the computer turning itself Off. A warning screen will display that will allow a password holder 60 seconds to override the shutdown. The TimeKeeper can be disabled by a password holder if desired.
A Log is kept of all pages viewed, including pages that have been caught by the filters. The Log can be disabled by a password holder if desired.
The following is a list of some of the online and offline content that can be Blocked.
