It may be easiest for most families to create a single children's profile and
if unrestricted access is required they can
simply Snooze all filtering to allow full access to the
Internet. See below for more information on Snooze all filtering
- Add a Profile
You may have many profiles, one for each user of the computer for example. Each profile can allow access
to various items on the Internet. This first profile is set up during installation and you can
add more profiles later. Select a profile name (for example "kids") and password and enter these.
Then select one of the preset levels for access such as child or teenager. You will be able to adjust
the settings later.
Once you have entered this profile information select [Next >]
- The finish screen will appear, click the [Finish] button
- The completing installation screen will reappear. You must reboot to complete the installation of
the software select [Finish] now and your computer will be automatically restarted.
That brings you to the end of the installation of the software.
NOTICE
   
 
wfilter.exe must be allowed to access the Internet by any firewall or security software in order for Bruce Telecom
