CyberSieve allows you to set up different levels of restrictions for each member of your family
depending on their maturity, interest, habits and parental control needs.
The level of Internet access can be set from no restriction for you as administrator to total prohibition. The CyberSieve application identifies a user by the same login name the user enters when he/she logs in to Windows. If you did not add a new login onto the user list of CyberSieve, the program will add them automatically to the "Guests" group. |

To temporarily disable the CyberSieve program for a selected group or user without losing your settings, mark the "Disable CyberSieve" check box. The CyberSieve icon in the system tray near the clock should change its color to gray. To temporarily switch off the Internet for a group or user, mark the "Disable Internet" check box. All future attempts to connect to the internet for the selected group or user will be blocked. The icon in the system tray near the clock should change its color to red. Select "Don't show CyberSieve warnings" if you do not want to receive CyberSieve warning messages. Please keep in mind that without such a warning the user will not know that a resource has been blocked. However, you can always review the full protocol of all blocked resources and reasons for those blockages in the log files. You can select the most appropriate warning from these two possibilities: amusing, child-friendly pop-ups for your kids or respectable auto-hiding pop-ups for your associates. You can set up your own warning message instead of those provided by default. To preview a Custom Warning, click on the "Test" button. If you mark the "Show custom warning" checkbox, but leave it empty, CyberSieve will not display any message at all. Keep in mind that without such warning, the user will not know that a resource has been blocked. However, you can always review the full protocol of all blocked resources and reasons for those blockages in the log files. You can select one from several entertaining themes for a series of images that will accompany warning messages. Click on the "Preview" button to view all available themes. You can keep a group description in this field. To add a new user, click the "Add New User" button. To delete an existing user from the list, use the "Delete User" button. To refresh the user list, use the "Refresh" button. IMPORTANT: The CyberSieve application identifies a user by the same login name the user enters when he logs in to Windows. If you did not add a new login onto the user list of CyberSieve, the program ads them automatically to the "Guests" group. We recommend forbidding Internet access for the "Guests" group, if you do not want somebody from your family to work on the Internet anonymously. |
