The software lets you restrict inappropriate web surfing and enforce Internet usage policies. You can either completely block the Internet or allow access only to specific sites that you specify. It also lets you schedule Internet access only at certain times of the day, such as lunchtime or after lectures.
The application blocker functionality of Browse Control makes it easy for you to enforce policies that prevent users from running apps that they shouldn't be. This feature can prevent any type of application from being run by users, such as Solitaire or KazaA, with the ability to block the running of any .exe file by simply including the name of the application in the Browse Control Blocked Applications List.
The Browse Control software is clever enough to trap applications by using the internal Windows name. This means that users won't be able to rename .exe files to bypass this software. It's also incredibly efficient at blocking KazaA type P2P applications that port hop, ensuring that your system remains secure from any unauthorized access.
Overall, Browse Control is an excellent software tool that can help you ensure that your Internet access policies are in line with your organizational requirements while preventing users from running applications that they shouldn't be.
