Filtering Web Sites Using Keywords - McAfee INTERNET SECURITY SUITE 2008 User Manual

Filtering Web sites using keywords

Keyword filtering lets you block non-Adult users from visiting
Web sites that contain potentially inappropriate words. When
keyword filtering is enabled, a default list of keywords and
corresponding rules is used to rate content for users according to
their content rating group. Users must belong to a certain group
to access Web sites that contain specific keywords. For example,
only members of the Adult group can visit Web sites containing
the word porn, and only members of the Child group (and older)
can visit Web sites containing the word drugs.
You can also add your own keywords to the default list and
associate these with certain content rating groups. Keyword rules
that you add override a rule that might already be associated with
a matching keyword in the default list.
Disable keyword filtering
By default, keyword filtering is enabled, which means that a
default list of keywords and corresponding rules is used to rate
content for users according to their content rating group.
Although McAfee does not recommend doing so, you can disable
keyword filtering at any time.

Block Web sites based on keywords
