INTERNET FILTERS

Since the dawn of the internet, pornography has made its presence felt. Today it is a $10 billion industry, greater than the NFL, NBA, and Major League Baseball - combined. Over two million porn sites exist on the internet today, with 2,500 new ones added each week. And with all the other violent and offensive websites out there, the problem is not going to get better anytime soon.

Against this backdrop, internet filter programs work hard to block objectionable material from innocent eyes. Each offers a unique approach or feature set to meet this pervasive challenge.

When evaluating the different internet filter programs, there are certain factors you want to consider. Some of these include:

•  Features.  Does the package only block websites? Can it also filter chatrooms, emails, and file-sharing services?

•  Support.  Support ranges from toll-free telephone service to 3-day email answers. Make sure you understand the level of commitment you're signing up for.

•  Cost.  Pay attention to the full cost of the package; some services may make you pay to answer your questions.

TopConsumerReviews.com has reviewed and ranked the best internet filter programs available. We hope you find these reviews helpful in protecting you and your family!
