- What does Photo No-No! do?
Unlike many other Parental Controls, Photo No-No! blocks
pornographic photographs as they enter your computer by
working as a firewall between your browser and
the Internet. Instead of just blocking a list of pornographic
words or specific web sites, Photo No-No! processes every entering photograph, using
image analysis for possible pornographic content.
Photo No-No also knows about hundreds of thousands of KNOWN
pronographic websites, and automatically blocks them.
The main task of Photo No-No! is to filter out Adult Images
automatically.
As an added plus Photo No-No! also
prevents adult images in e-mail.
- How is Photo No-No! different from other Parental
Controls?
Photo
No-No! not only blocks web sites, but it also scans
images for possible adult content.
Other blockers can only block web sites – such as Cyber Sitter
or Net Nanny - and thus leave your computer users vulnerable to
new sites that are not in their list!
- What do you mean by a sliding scale?
What is a "pornographic" photo? Its definition is
subjective depending on the individual. Some would say its nudity.
Others, not.
With Photo No-No!, you can be the judge. Photo
No-No!'s artificial intelligence has been trained to learn over a
sliding scale. At Maximum, or 10, Photo No-No! blocks
all photos. At Off, or 0, it blocks none.
At its default setting of 5, Photo No-No! will correctly block
the pornographic, or “bad” photos almost all of the
time while letting ”good” photos through almost all
the time. Setting the filter higher, to say 7, and it will block
more pornographic or "questionable" photos of all
types. However, it may also block some good photos. This added
protection may be perfect for your comfort level.
- What kind of computer system do I need to use Photo No-No!?
Please see our System Requirements Page for the latest information.
- I use AOL to get to the Internet. Can I still
use Photo No-No!?
If you have Internet Explorer, Netscape or other listed browser
on our Systems Requirements page, Photo No-No! can protect your
family. If AOL is your Internet Service Provider (ISP), simply
click to diminish the AOL page after you have logged on, and
then double click your browser’s icon on Desktop to access
the Internet. It’s easy! Photo No-No! will go to work!
Currently, AOL Dial-up users must use a browser other
than Internet Explorer for effective results. We recommend the Avant Browser. It can be
downloaded for free at www.avantbrowser.com.
- Is this a “subscription” service?
No. Subscription services have to try to keep up with ever
changing web site names of the Adult Image web sites. Photo
No-No! works strictly from what’s entering your computer
from the Internet and scans the images using Artificial Intelligence. You don’t need to constantly update
lists of objectionable sites.
- Is Photo No-No! only a pornographic photo blocker?
No. You can also manually block pornographic web sites by site
name, but that’s only a plus.
- That's great, but can I take a quick Tour?
Sure, either click on Tour in the Menu to the left, or click on Tour here.
- Does Photo No-No! ever make mistakes?
Like we all do, any intelligence makes mistakes. At its default
setting, Photo No-No! will correctly block the pornographic,
or “bad” photos almost all of the time while letting
”good” photos through almost all the time. The settings
can be adjusted according to your preferences.
- I’ve got kids at ages 3, 10 and 16. Will
Photo No-No! work for all?
Currently, Photo No-No! allows a single user setting. Pick
one for all. Future versions may accommodate multiple users,
and on multiple computers, at a sliding scale of filtering that
you specify for each of your children.
- I have 2 home computers. Can I put it on each
one?
Photo No-No! is currently priced for single user installations.
You may purchase and download additional copies, or Contact Us
for reduced multi-site pricing discounts.
- Can we use Photo No-No! in our School system
or Library?
Photo No-No! is designed for single user application, such as home use.
Libraries, Schools and other Institutions can install a copy of Photo No-No! on each computer that they wish to have it running on. Multi-user needs with a single proxy server instance can use
our professional application software, Picture Guard. Click for further
information.
- Will Photo No-No! work on computers in other countries, such as in Europe or Asia, where local language Internet sites are accessible?
Yes, Photo No-No! examines only the images entering your computer from the Internet. It does not depend on site names, on words, or on any particular language. Images from every Internet site are filtered for possible pornography.
- Currently, Photo No-No! does require a
basic understanding of English to Install the program the first
time.
- It also requires that your computer meet the System Requirements, of course.
Once installed, Photo No-No! filters Internet images accessed by anyone, from anywhere.
- Can my son get around Photo No-No!?
As long as you keep your Password safe from prying eyes, the
filter setting should remain secure. However, Photo No-No! only
intercepts HTTP requests for web pages and their images. It
does not examine nor prevent downloads of files not originating from HTTP connections (such as some file sharing programs, direct connections, etc.) that may contain questionable content, but the computer can still be scanned for "bad" images (even within zip and hidden files) using the File Scan feature.
- What ways can I obtain Photo No-No!?
Currently the program is available for Download
only, using easy step- by- step directions.
- What if I don’t feel comfortable buying
products over the Internet?
We use PayPal, the most secure method of purchase available
on the Internet today. They guarantee your purchase privacy.
We don’t see the specifics of your transaction and no one
else should either. Contact us for
other offerings.
- Can I try it first for Free?
Yes, you can download Photo No-No! for a 15 day free
trial. However, it’s a limited version to demonstrate
the power of the software only:
- It will filter photographs according to
the settings you select.
- It is not password protected. Your
children, or anyone, can turn it off or change its settings.
- You can only scan the first 100 images stored on your computer,
instead of all.
You can elect to register at any time during your 15 days trial
and you won’t have to download the program again.
- What about Updates?
We’re constantly working on new features. You get all
Updates for the version you purchased, and
installation support for one year from registered purchase.
- OK, I’m convinced, but is there timely Help available for my questions?
Yes. Most questions can be answered immediately, 24 hours a day, using our
on-line Help wizard and tutorial. Click Help here for instant access.
