If you have questions after COMPLETELY reading the description below, please send me an email at info@inspiredeffect.com. Please do continue to post comments and suggestions!*******************************FULL DESCRIPTION:Designed with children in mind, as a parental control tool, FoxFilter is a very easy-to-use personal content filter that helps prevent stumbling onto adult/pornographic content or block access to specific Web sites (e.g. freegamesite.com). Based on user-defined preferences such as keywords, filtering sensitivity settings and URL exceptions, it is very flexible. Settings include the following:1) Keywords to check for (porn, xxx, free AND adult, free AND sex, etc..) Note: using "AND" makes sure that both keywords were found.2) Selection of what elements of the page should be examined: URL, Title, Meta Keywords, Meta Description, Body (recommend all)3) URL Exceptions: Allows specific URLS to be excluded such as Yahoo.com (since they can contain "free AND sex" somewhere in the body)4) Password Protection: User can assign/change password (default is "foxfilter")5) Enable/Disable: User can turn off filtering as neededSENSITIVITY SETTINGS (PLEASE READ):If FoxFilter seems too sensitive, please keep in mind that if "Examine Body Content" is selected in the "Sensitivity Settings", FoxFilter can be VERY sensitive. You may encounter blocking for many non-pornographic sites, such as Yahoo.com, that contain "free" and "sex" somewhere in the body content. You can either choose to not examine the Body content and just examine Meta content, Title and URL, or add URL exceptions as needed.When installed, you should see "FoxFilter Enabled" in the lower-right corner of the Firefox browser window. To edit preferences, you should see "FoxFilter Preferences" in the Tools menu. As mentioned above, the default password is "foxfilter". If a page is blocked, FoxFilter displays a friendly page showing the URL, Keyword(s) detected and what section of the document the keyword was found in. CAVEATS:1) When the URL is changed, the browser content is hidden (gray screen is shown) until the FoxFilter determines if its safe to display the content.2) FoxFilter is password protected, but more advanced users may know how to uninstall it. Version 2.0 addresses this issue (see notes below)SAFE TESTING:You can use the following safe URL to test your installation of FoxFilter:http://inspiredeffect.com/firefox/extensions/foxfilter/Keywordtest.htmlSOFTPEDIA "100% CLEAN" AWARD:FoxFilter was tested in the Softpedia labs on: 08 February 2007.
