Controlling individuals' Internet use
Customize Parental Control
Restrict newsgroup access
To block and permit categories of Internet programs
1 In the main window, double-click Parental Control.
2 In the Parental Control window, on the Settings For
menu, select the account that you want to change.
3 Click Programs.
4 In the Programs dialog box, under Program
Categories, select the categories of programs that this
account is allowed to use.
5 Click OK.
Parental Control blocks newsgroups based on text
strings, which are groups of letters found in the names of
the newsgroups.
When users access newsgroups, Parental Control
compares the names of the newsgroups that they attempt
to view with a list of text strings you create. Parental
Control then blocks or permits access to newsgroups
containing those text strings.
When newsgroups are blocked, newsreader programs
will not include their names in the master list of available
newsgroups that users can view. If a user attempts to
post a message in the newsgroup, Norton Internet
Security automatically blocks the post.
