How is ScreenShield different from URL
Filtering Software?
URL filters only restrict access to known pornographic
web sites. While these Web filters attempt to eliminate
access to known pornographic websites, ScreenShield protects
users from any image displayed on a computer, regardless
of its source, detecting images from all sources including:
Internet, CD-ROM, DVD, hard drive, floppy disks, email
messages, embedded in documents and movies. Although the
prime source of illicit materials, the downloading of
pictures from the Internet is only one of many ways pornography
is distributed, displayed and circulated without detection.

How
does ScreenShield detect explicit images?
ScreenShield's sophisticated content-based engine analyzes
screen images for skin tones, providing preventive protection
and permanently overseeing computer usage on PC screens.
This powerful color-based screen-monitoring engine scans
PC displays and checks for colors typically associated
with adult and/or pornographic images.

What
does ScreenShield do when it detects explicit images?
When ScreenShield detects suspect material being displayed
on a computer screen, it automatically records the event
and a 'thumbnail' snapshot of the computer screen is saved
in a central log file. This creates a complete audit trail
that can be reviewed and monitored. ScreenShield has four
levels of protection that dictate what happens on the
employee PC. See Features
for more details.

Can
I customize ScreenShield's protection level?
Protection level can be tailored to suit individual requirements
through ScreenShield's four Modes of Operation: Passive
Mode, Stealth Mode, Active Warning and Active Mode. These
multiple detection levels enable you to select the desired
degree of protection, from a silent watchdog, detecting
and storing relevant images in a log for examination at
a later date to blocking triggered images immediately
and locking the PC until a password is entered.

Can
ScreenShield block adult content from being displayed
on the PC screen?
ScreenShield offers multiple options that allow you to
determine the level of protection that is right for you.
Active Mode blocks offending images once inappropriate
materials have been detected and logged in the central
audit file. In Active Mode, once a suspect image is displayed,
the screen is blocked and the computer frozen until an
administrator unlocks the computer.

Will
ScreenShield flag images that are not explicit?
Because ScreenShield's engine is designed to identify
flesh tones, these colors can also appear in acceptable
images, so advanced algorithms and analytics were developed
to reduce the risk of false triggers. Additionally, ScreenShield
provides sensitivity level options that give you the ability
to determine tolerances based on individual needs. These
features that provide flexibility and control include:
Sensitivity Filters, Profiles and Detection Engine Scheduler.

Can
simply having ScreenShield installed on a computer serve
as a deterrent?
Yes, because a ScreenShield icon can be displayed in the
System Tray of each personal computer, this symbol acts
as a visible and persistent reminder for computer users
tempted to view illicit materials.
