This program makes it easy to prevent access to most IM programs, browsers, and other popular Web-related apps. You can also add Web sites and other programs you want to block with IMterrupt Professional 2006.
The IMterrupt Professional 2006 interface has a File menu, toolbar, and tree menu, and each gives access to the same options. Operating the program is as simple as ticking the check boxes next to the sites and apps you want to block. There are 13 main categories, including all major instant messenger programs and browsers. It's fairly simple to block select Web sites. For categories like games and chat, there aren't individual listings. Instead, you can check the box to block the keywords games and chat.
A simple scheduler lets you add times that the program should block access to your selected items. It also can prevent users from changing Windows time and date, so more savvy users can't trick the program into allowing access. It has a few Advanced settings to block Task Manager, Control Panel, and Registry access. We found the program effective in all selected areas--items open briefly then immediately close. IMterrupt Professional 2006 is password protected, and can only be uninstalled from the main interface.
The trial version is a short seven days, but this is one of the easier to use control programs we've tried, so that should be enough time for even the most novice of users to give IMterrupt Professional 2006 a full test run. If you're looking for a simple way to block access to common Web sites and related Web programs, this effective program is worth a try.
