What is Family Friendly Filtering (FFF)

Family Friendly Filtering makes Internet usage safer for your entire family or company. And it makes the Internet a more pleasant tool, by eliminating unwanted messages and viruses.

Family Friendly Filtering is a filtering system, which performs three functions:

1) Pornography may be filtered, using one of two optional filter levels.

2) SPAM is filtered, unless you request this standard filtered to be disabled for your account.

3) Viruses are filtered, unless you request this standard filter to be disabled for your account.

This filtering is done at Winbeam’s operations center. You do not need to configure your home system hardware or software. It is not possible for anyone at your home to change the filter configuration. Filter changes can only be made by the primary user, through verbal or written communication with Winbeam.

Protect your family or business

The Internet is wonderful communication tool. Unfortunately, the system allows us to be bombarded with unwanted messages ranging from innocuous to offensive. Family Friendly Filtering (FFF) enables you to choose appropriate filters to protect your family or company. FFF is very easy to set up and modify. A single call to your Winbeam customer care professional sets up your filter choices or modifies your filter choices. And it is impossible for your children to inadvertently or consciously change the filter settings.

Pornography is filtered in two different ways, based on its content, and from lists of clearly identified pornography. If sites you want to access are blocked by the system (e.g. a page on breeding your dog), you may have that page cleared by adding it to a pass list. The filter is flexible, but stops almost all offensive material. This enables young children to safely use the Internet without constant monitoring by their parents. You choose between a medium and high setting for the filter for your home or business.

SPAM is electronic junk mail. Broadcasting of SPAM is increasing rapidly. A SPAM filter is built into all Winbeam mail servers and blocks 95%+ of all SPAM. If, for whatever reason, you want SPAM, we can adjust our settings so that you get it.

Viruses are small pieces of code that malicious programmers send out to create havoc with as many users as possible. A virus filter is build into all Winbeam mail servers and blocks almost all viruses. If, for whatever reason, you want viruses, we can adjust our settings to that you get them.
