How NetPurifier filters
Three levels of filtering insure that NetPurifier will stop inappropriate content.
1.NetPurifier first checks the requested URL against its Exception IP List to see if the site is excepted.
2.Next NetPurifier checks the URL against it Exception Site list to see if it is excepted.
3.Next NetPurifier checks the URL against its blacklist. This list has over 500,000 entries and is categorized by content.
4.NetPurifier then loads the complete page into memory and scans it for its PIC’s rating. The PIC’s rating is then compared with the PIC’s list.
5.NetPurifier then scans every word on the page and applies its Smart Filter Technology to determine if the page is acceptable or not.
6.If acceptable the page is sent to the requesting computer.
7.If the page is deemed unacceptable the “Access Denied” page is sent to the requesting computer.
