McAfee Privacy Service Introduction
The McAfee Privacy Service is typically offered as part of your
Internet connection by ISPs although can be purchased separately
through select McAfee partners. It offers a useful and strong
combination of PII (Personal Identifiable Information) protection
and Internet content filtering. Primarily it is designed to protect
your children from seeing some of the more adult orientated and
unsuitable sites and images that are prevalent on the web. However,
it also doubles up to protect you and your family from falling foul
to identity theft or PII theft. Both are serious and genuine
problems that do exist and do need protecting against.
Preventing Personal Information Theft
McAfee Privacy Service offers protection against the theft of your
personal information. Parental controls can be set that replaces
personal information such as phone numbers and addresses with
pre-configured replacement text. This can prevent children from
passing on personal information via Messenger or chat rooms and it
can also stop the unlawful transmission of this data via your
Internet connection. Whenever an attempt is made to pass personal
information over the Internet you are given the option to transmit
or prevent the transmission of this data.
Blocking Cookies
Blocking cookies is another effective way of protecting personal
data. Some website cookies collect certain items of information, in
some cases including usernames and passwords for membership
websites. Data miners can be used to extract all of the cookies on
your system, building up your entire profile in the process.
Securely blocking cookies can stop infection from spyware or
viruses.
Setting User Specific Content Restrictions
Establishing user-based and age-based restriction is an excellent
way to protect your children when online. According to the age
restriction you set for a user the McAfee Privacy Service restricts
websites that contain known inappropriate content. It also scans for
keywords and phrases that contain foul or abusive language. This
ensures that your children are not visiting sites that you deem to
be inappropriate for them.
Time Restricted Access
Internet access can be blocked at specific times of the day. By
blocking Internet access at certain times you can ensure that your
children do not access the Internet late at night or when they
should be doing homework. Logs of access times are also kept so you
can closely monitor how much time they spend online. Another feature
of the Privacy Service is that it records any attempts to access
inappropriate sites and, when access is blocked, it will redirect
the browser to a more suitable page.
Customizable Restrictions And Access
Restrictions and access levels are customizable. Safe web pages and
inappropriate web pages can be manually blocked or enabled according
to your requirements. If you see a site that your child tries to
access regularly is, in fact, suitable then you can allow access to
that site having checked it yourself. Similarly, you can block
access to a specific site in a similar way. This gives you complete
control over the sites that your child has access to and lets you
change those sites as and when you deem appropriate. It gives you
the power to protect your children when using the Internet.
McAfee Privacy Service
McAfee Privacy Service is a powerful content filtering and privacy
protection package. Content filtering can be used to prevent your
children from gaining access to inappropriate sites. It can also be
used to ensure that they are safe when using Messenger and chat
rooms. Personal information can be stopped before it is sent, which
not only protects your child or children but your whole family and
home. Personal Identity Theft is a well-documented problem and the
Privacy Service enables you can enjoy the benefits of the Internet
without having to worry about any side effects.
