Filseclab Internet Guardian Angel

This application blocks any material on the Web you'd like it to, but it has some rather significant stability concerns. Filseclab Internet Guardian Angel's regimented interface doesn't come with a blacklist of URLs or keywords to edit. As a result, you'll need to muster up as many unsightly terms as you can or whitelist allowed Web sites. It also blocks access to sites based on the language it's in and the security level you designate based on your kids' ages. Secured with password protection, it sends e-mail alerts of attempts made to access blocked Web sites. Pop-up blocking is available, although we can't figure out why since it warns against using it. By the publisher's own admission, the pop-up blocker can completely raze your browser. During our tests, the warning rang true, requiring us to uninstall the software, reboot the system, and reinstall it. Though this 14-day trial effectively blocks specified sites, the pop-up blocker should either be fixed or removed; otherwise, users won't feel comfortable downloading it.
