i Protect You Review

 

 

 


 

 
Summary

 

iProtectYou provides effective website filtering, newsgroup, and custom keyword based chat blocking, however the user interface is a bit complicated to use in finding the settings you are looking for and lacks important monitoring capabilities.

Website Filtering/Blocking


iProtectYou contains about 15 selectable filter categories as well as five level filtering strength. You can create and configure custom groups and users, however, the users must be identical to the Windows login name - you cannot switch users while you are logged into Windows. Also, there is no immediate override feature - if you want to disable filtering, you have to completely log off of Windows and log in as an administrator.

Other Filtering/Blocking


iProtectYou allows you to add your own list of keywords which will be blocked. These words will be blocked in chat and email programs. IProtectYou also allows you to add specific programs that cannot access the internet. They also have a time management feature which you can use to limit internet usage to certain times of the day or limit total time for each day.

Monitoring


IProtectYou will monitor and log accessed and blocked URLs. It will also log all programs (times and duration) which access the internet. You can also setup email alerts. You cannot monitor chat, email, keystrokes, or screenshots.

Management


You can create and configure custom groups and users, however, the users must be identical to the Windows login name - you cannot switch users while you are logged into Windows. Configuration may be a bit tricky - some options are arranged and categorized strangely.

Support:


They have an online user manual and a support form.

Parental Control Software

 

Our top pick amongst the 25 tested by Kidshield  was Net Nanny which performed head and shoulders above other parental control software.  Net Nanny is more than an internet filter, it is peace of mind:

 

  • easy to install

  • easy to manage

  • provides monitoring of Instant Messaging and Peer-to-Peer Networking and lots more

  • costs less than an X-Box or PS2 game

  • Did everything we asked and more!

 

 

You can purchase Net Nanny directly from the Kidshield Store
