Photo No-No for Windows

Primarily designed to filter out adult images and content, Photo No-No needs additional work before we can give it our full support. After a seemingly interminable wait for the application to install, we were miffed to discover we had to enter our e-mail address to obtain an evaluation passcode. Once that unfortunate process was over, the wizard checked our Internet connection and gave us options for configuring a firewall and cleaning cached files at regular intervals. You can set the security level, specify types of images and Web sites to block, and create parental-control time-outs. However, when it came to actually ferreting out X-rated material, the program's AI engine produced mixed results. Though Photo No-No did detect a seminude picture, it also gathered some irrelevant results, such as a photo of a helicopter shadow. Also, when we logged into a thumbnail gallery with erotic links, the program failed to block several explicit-content banners. Therefore, if you plan to use Photo No-No to keep adult content away from children, we'd suggest testing it thoroughly to ensure it offers enough protection for you.
