In reality, filtering software is ideal for all walks of life. Filtering software has the capability to block unsavoury sites from view. The type of sites that are could be considered inappropriate for general viewing and which may be blocked by filtering software include sites containing violence, crime, hate, sexually explicit material and drug related material. New websites are generated daily. It is the filter manufacturers' role to categorise these new sites so that their filtering software remains current.
Most manufacturers provide their customers with regular upgrades.
Depending on the service, the upgrades may be complimentary or come at an additional charge. It all depends on what you want out of a filtering product. Before purchasing filtering software, make sure it meets all your requirements. To help you make a decision on which product to purchase the IIA have provided a list of Approved filters and their contact details. Users with personal webpages or who post material on the internet on other sites should be aware that they have legal responsibilities.
