Take complete control of who and what uses your Internet connection.
There are so many things that can be found over
Internet, that it is easy to end up where we shouldn't, and it is also very easy to loose the notion of time to such an extent that it's sometimes better to put a limit to its use. To make this kind of restrictions easier we have
IM Lock, that allow to
easily configure the services and programs that will be able to be launched.
This program allows to
block any kind of web,
instant messenger applications (like MSN Messenger) and kinds of
services related with the web (including adult services). IM Locker allows to
program these blocks, in such a way that, for example, we can block access to any of these services until 21:00 so that the children study and an adult can supervise what they are doing with the computer.
IM Locker is specially adapted to
block and restrict the instant messenger clients, allowing to customize the block for MSN/Live Messenger, Yahoo!, AOL,... It updates automatically because many of the applications change how they work with each new version.
On the other side,
if a web is blocked it is possible to redirect the user to another site, so if we block Facebook or Tuenti, we can redirect the person that is trying to enter either of these social netbook to visit the Wikipedia, for example.
To sum up,
IM Lock is a
good program to control how Internet is accessed in our household. It is a very useful tool for parents that are worried about the privacy of their children, and the way they use Internet.
