There is a lot to eScan Web and Mail Filter. The following features give you some idea of how powerful and comprehensive a product it is.

Advanced Content Matching Options

You can set advanced content matching options that search for restricted words in different parts of the web page, set number of times a restricted word occurs in a page before it is blocked, allows you to block page elements like images, applications, movie files, etc.

The content matching feature is intelligent so it is able to differentiate between a porn site and a medical site that gives anatomical references of a human body. Words occurring in the following areas of the web page are detected and denied access to: site name, HTML tags, page title, page text or body, page description and keywords. Restricted words like babe, sex, etc. can be found in legitimate sites. In a website, if any three words from the list appear as a combination, more times than that set as the threshold value, the site is blocked. You can use the threshold level bar to set the threshold value number.

You can also choose options for blocking a website:

Block Images: Images on web pages are not displayed.
Block Applications: Block applications like .exe files that can be run on your machine.
Block Audio: Audio or sound files on websites are not played.
Block Video: Movies on web sites are not allowed to run.

Some web sites embed objects like applets and scripts, in your browser when you access their web pages. The Active Control Blocking feature allows you to bar this action.

Restricted words like babe, sex, etc. can be found in legitimate sites. For safe Internet surfing, organisations such as RSCAi, ICRA, SafeSurf, etc., rate sites based on the language, nudity, sex and violence content.

The following picture shows how you can choose a rating agency and further fine tune access options for language, nudity, sex and violence content.

Spam emails are unsolicited junk mail. These have subject lines such as: deal of a lifetime, free your debts, etc. The words may occur in the body, header, and HTML tags of the email. A block list of such words and phrases is provided. If this feature is enabled, any email with these words in the subject line is automatically deleted or quarantined. You can add or delete words and phrases to the block list. The program can also detect such phrases in e-mail body and HTML tags.

You can add or remove an email ID from the block list. You can have notifications sent to the intended recipient and system administrator. The notification provides details of who the email came from,and who it was for, subject, and reason why the email was deleted, etc.

Privacy Protector Privacy is very important to you. Manually deleting history folders, cache, etc. does not ensure your privacy as others can still find out details of the sites you visited, files opened, etc. Your computer holds information that can be revealed to trace your actions: location bar history, cache, cookie, auto complete memory, index.dat, IE plug-ins, recent documents, windows search history, start menu run history, open/save history. The Browser Clean Up feature can be scheduled to remove all such traces from your system.
