IM Restriction -
Chaperone now offers the most powerful controls for
MSN Instant Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), and Yahoo Instant Messenger (English
version of MSN, AIM, and Yahoo only)
Web Site Restriction -
Restrict Internet Access by
either prohibiting specific pages or allowing only selected pages (For
Internet Explorer only. Windows 2000 or XP required)
The
easiest to use access control software available
- Chaperones Configuration Console is more
powerful and easier to use then any other access control software available. It
can quickly be mastered by even the most inexperienced user.
Tools
to ease distribution and maintenance -
To ease the distribution of the Monitor
service Chaperone allows you to create a set of installation disks that install
the necessary files, as well as the configuration file. Once installed changes
to the access permissions can be made by changing just one computer, greatly
reducing the amount of time required to maintain Chaperone
Complete
support for multiple users - Chaperone allows
multiple users. These users can each have their own access restrictions, or can
be grouped together to use common access policies. When set to use the same
policy each user still has their own schedule time allotments, ensuring that one
user cannot interfere with the permissions of another. User
accounts can even be set to mirror the Windows user accounts.
This prevents the need for a separate login when the
computer is started
Group
programs to use a common schedule - Chaperone
allows the grouping of two or more programs together so they share a common
schedule or time limit. No other
access control software offers program grouping. For
example, if it is desired to limit Internet access to 4 hours per day while
still allowing the use if Internet Explorer and Netscape, a group is created
with a time limit of 4 hours per day, and Internet Explorer and Netscape is
added to the group. When either Internet Explorer or Netscape is running the
timer is active. When the time limit is reached neither program will run. Without
grouping this would not possible. Grouping is a major feature missing in all
other access control software programs
Internet
Access Control - Internet Access is
controlled by defining either the list of web pages that can be accessed, or the
list those that are prohibited. There is also keyword filtering of web pages
address (filters address, not content). Internet
Explorer and Windows Explorer only. Requires Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Internet
Access can be scheduled by setting schedules for the programs used to access the
internet, such as Netscape or Internet Explorer
MSN
Instant Messenger Access control - Chaperone
is the most complete and unique access control software available for MSN
Instant Messenger. In addition to being able to set schedules for when MSN
Instant Messenger users can access MSN, Chaperone can also be used control what
contacts can be accessed by preventing users from adding new contacts. Chaperone
also allows the protection of critical MSN settings. All
of these settings are unique to the individual MSN Instant Messenger user and
can be changed for each user as necessary. English
version of MSN Instant Messenger only.
AOL
Instant Messenger (AIM) Access control - Just
like MSN, Chaperone is the most effective access control software available for
AOL Instant Messenger (AIM). Chaperone allows schedules to be set to control
when users can access AOL Instant Messenger. Due to the nature of AIM, Chaperone
is able to offer even better control of which contacts the user can access.
Also, in addition to protecting critical AIM settings, Chaperone can be
configured to prevent the user from sending and receiving files. This is a very
important feature since file transfers increase the risk of infection by
viruses. All of these settings are unique to the
individual AOL Instant Messenger user and can be changed for each user as
necessary. English
version of AOL Instant Messenger only.
Yahoo Instant Messenger access control
- The unique design of Yahoo Instant
Messenger allows Chaperone to provide the most extensive range of access
controls of any chat program. Chaperone offers the same great scheduling and
contact control as MSN and AOL Instant Messenger. In addition it is possible to
limit file transfers, prevent conference calls, disable all mobile features, and
even prevent access to all chat rooms through Yahoo Messenger!!!! All
of these settings are unique to the individual Yahoo Instant Messenger user and
can be changed for each user as necessary. English
version of Yahoo Instant Messenger only
Complete control over program access - Programs
can be controlled by defining their access schedules. These schedules can be
either a maximum quota per day, according to a defined schedule where individual
15-minute time periods can be set to permit or deny access, or a combination of
both. You can even set a different
schedule for every day of the week Schedules can
even be configured to completely deny
program access
Schedule when the computer can be accessed - Complete
access to the computer can be controlled by defining a Windows schedule. This
schedule can be either a maximum quota per day, according to a defined schedule
where individual 15-minute time periods can be set to permit or deny access, or
a combination of both. You can even set a different
schedule for every day of the week
Prevent changes to the Windows date and time - Setting
a schedule is useless if the user can change the Windows date or time,
effectively overriding the schedule. Chaperone prevents this by allowing password
protection for changes to the Windows date and time.
This even includes cases where the date or time
is reset from another program, preventing a computer savvy user from changing it
by writing a simple program to do so. Other
programs leave this loophole open by simply removing access to the standard
Windows date/time dialogue. Some don't even do this much
Prevent access to vital tools - Access
to tools such as the Control Panel and
Registry tools can be controlled, preventing
accidental or malicious critical system changes, a feature not found in most
access control software
Prevent program installations - No
access control software is effective unless it prevents new program
installations. Competing products accomplish this by blocking the Windows
installation service, but many programs installations don't use this service and
are able to run. Chaperone closes this loophole and stops
all install programs, proving once again that Chaperone is a great
solution.
Virtually impossible to disable or uninstall - Any
access control software is useless if it can easily be defeated by computer
savvy users. Chaperone cannot be
disabled or uninstalled without the
administration password. Program files cannot be deleted and the program cannot
be terminated using the Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del). In fact, you can even disable
the Task Manager to prevent other important
programs, such as virus scanners, from being closed, a feature not found in any
other access control software. It is impossible to get around the limitations
you set!!!
