Comment: Hello,
I'm looking for a trial version/free web filtering software for a non profit organization. Free internet access of the organization allows users to view at this point everything on the web. We'd like to try out a software that will discourage and/or pinpoint irresponsible Internet use.
Thanks in advance.

Reply: (edit)The best that I have seen and use is... Proxomitron. Here's a partial list of what the Proxomitron can do "out of the box"
(not that it was ever in a box mind you) * Stop windows that pop-up, pop-under, or pop-over
* Stop those un-closable endless banner chains
* Stop pop-up JavaScript message boxes
* Remove web-branding and other scripts tacked on by "free" web providers.
* Convert most ads and banner pictures into simple text links
* Freeze all animated gifs
* Make blinking text appear as bold instead
* Remove slow web counters
* Stop web pages from "auto-refreshing"
* Prevent pages from changing fonts
* Get rid of or replace web page background images
* Protect against getting "trapped" inside someone else's frames!
* Make all frames resizable
* Close top or bottom frame banner windows
* Protect against getting "trapped" inside someone else's frames!
* Make background MIDI songs play only when you choose.
* Remove status bar scroll-texts
* Remove "dynamic" HTML from pages
* Disguise your browser's identity and version from JavaScripts
* Remove style sheets
* Un-hide URLs when the mouse is over a link
* Disable frames or tables altogether
* Change or delete cookies
* Change your browser's user-agent and other identifying fields
* Hide where you've been previously from inquisitive web servers and, as they say, much, much more. To download click this link...

Reply: (edit)Thanks to everybody for the input. I looked into all mentioned above possibilities. The main issue concerning our organization is smut related web pages visited by unknown internet users. We want to get some sort of control over it. Websense software seems like the software that matches our needs.
Thank again, have a good day. Liliya
