Download Personal Client Filter: User's Guide

Preface
The Netsweeper Client Filter is a practical method to choose the Internet services and sites that you want to allow access to on your computer. Once installed, it gives you control over how people use the Internet on that computer.
There are two versions of the Netsweeper Client Filter available. The Personal Edition is intended for residential use as well as for small businesses not using a domain server. The Professional Edition is intended for larger businesses using a domain server. This document describes the installation and initial configuration of the Netsweeper Client Filter Personal Edition on your computer. It also provides some tips on managing Internet access as well as an introductory guide to using Netsweeper for your computer users. About Profiles
With the Netsweeper Client Filter installed and set up, before anyone using this computer accesses the Internet, they must have a filtering profile selected. The Profile that they choose will determine what restrictions Netsweeper applies and the level of monitoring and reporting.
The Netsweeper Client Filter allows the Profile Manager – the administrator – to create one or more Profiles. Several people could use the same Profile or each person could have their own Profile.
The Profile Manager also has several choices with respect to how users select a Profile to use, when (and if) Profiles are automatically disabled, what Profile to use as a default for the computer (if any), and whether a user can choose to have their Profile “remembered” by Windows when they log in.
With this in mind, you may want to decide on what Profiles you want to create before you start the installation. You can get up and running by using the default Profiles that are created during installation. You can add, change, or delete Profiles later.
