- Welcome to WebChaperone 1.4 with iCRT!
- ========================================
-
- Thank you for using WebChaperone, Intelligent Web Protection For Families. Your computer
- is now equipped with the most powerful protection technology available today.
-
- First-generation list-dependent products have been overwhelmed by the Web's phenomenal
- new-site-every-18-seconds growth; even huge teams of reviewers can't possibly keep pace
- with the deluge of new and updated material.
-
- Only WebChaperone's content-recognition technology can cope with this explosion of
- unknown Web material. Its patent-pending iCRT technology checks every page, detecting
- pornographic content before your child sees it -- in a fraction of a second,
- without slowing down browsing.
-
-
- Things You May Notice With WebChaperone
- =======================================
-
- * Browsers normally start displaying Web pages a piece at a time, as each part of
- text, frame or graphic arrives. WebChaperone achieves its tremendous accuracy and
- security by completely checking the components of a page before passing them through
- -- all at once -- to your browser for display.
-
- Because of this, you may notice what seems at first sight to be slower page loading
- after installing WebChaperone, because the page doesn't start drawing right away, but
- after a short pause, is suddenly drawn all at once. In fact, the total time for the
- complete page to be displayed is essentially identical, with or without WebChaperone
- installed.
-
- * WebChaperone's iCRT technology actually checks pages in less than quarter of a second
- even on slower PCs. The page-scanning animation you see in the task bar takes much
- longer than the actual scanning process does -- that's so you have time to see it!
- The animation lets you know that WebChaperone is doing its job, actively protecting
- your family from pornography.
-
-
- INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
- =========================
- If you have AutoRun enabled for insertion of CD's into the drive then the install will start
- automatically. You need only follow the setup wizard to properly install WebChaperone.
-
- Here are instructions for manually starting the install program:
-
- * Insert the WebChaperone CD into your CD-ROM Drive. Open the disk
- on your Windows desktop.
-
- * Double-click (or right-click and choose "Open" command) the file
- Install WebChaperone.exe.
-
- * Follow through the instructions in the Installer.
-
- * If you're updating an earlier version of WebChaperone,
- your existing settings will be retained.
-
-
- Support for External Proxy Servers
- =====================================
- Business and education users:
- WebChaperone will co-exist with your proxy server, if you access
- the Web from behind a firewall.
-
- When you install WebChaperone, it reads your browser's proxy settings.
- WebChaperone overrides these settings, to ensure it sees every page before
- it reaches the browser; however WebChaperone in turn connects to your firewall.
-
- If you need to uninstall WebChaperone, be sure to use the Add/Remove Programs
- Control Panel, or choose the Uninstall WebChaperone command from the
- WebChaperone entry in the Programs section of the Start menu. This allows
- WebChaperone to reestablish the browser's previous proxy settings.
-
-
- Having Difficulty Registering Your Copy of WebChaperone?
- ========================================================
- To allow us to plan our technical support staffing needs, and to make sure
- we can let you know about updates and enhancements to WebChaperone, we require
- you to register your copy with WebCo.
-
- This normally takes a few seconds at most. However, during peak Internet traffic
- periods, our servers may sometimes be temporarily slow to respond. We continually
- monitor response times, and upgrade server capacity as necessary.
-
- If you have trouble connecting or completing your registration, wait a little
- while , then try again. If you're still having trouble after 24 hours, please
- email support@webchaperone.com or call 503-417-2900 for assistance.
-
-
- Using WebChaperone with America Online (AOL)
- ============================================
- Many customers use America Online to get Internet access.
-
- The browser built into current AOL software is a stripped-down or "Lite"
- version of Microsoft Internet Explorer. Its limitations prevent it from
- working with most third-party browser enhancements, including WebChaperone.
-
- Fortunately, replacing this stripped-down browser with a superior full version is
- both simple and FREE!
-
- Here's how:
-
- 1. First, choose which full-featured Web browser you'd like to try:
-
- * The full version of Internet Explorer is available for
- FREE, direct from Microsoft -- and you can easily use it with your
- AOL account. The latest version has all kinds of bells and whistles, and
- integrates with your Windows desktop.
-
- * The full version of Netscape Navigator, the browser that kicked off the whole
- Web explosion, is also available for FREE, direct from Netscape -- and you can
- also easily use it with AOL.
-
- 2. To download a new browser, connect to AOL as usual.
-
- 3. Then, using your stripped-down AOL browser for the last time, go to:
-
- http://www.microsoft.com/ie/download/
-
- or
- http://www.netscape.com/download/
-
- Follow the instructions you'll see on the Web pages there to download and
- install your proper, fully-functional Web browser!
-
- With these steps completed, here's how you'll use your new browser:
-
- 1. Open your AOL software and use your modem as usual to connect to the AOL service.
-
- (With AOL providing your connection to the Internet, you can now use *any*
- Internet software you like: e-mail programs, Web browsers, News readers,
- or whatever you like. Or you can carry on using AOL's built-in Chat, e-mail, and
- News services. The choice is *yours*!)
-
- 2. The easiest way to open your Web browser is to click the WebChaperone icon in your
- task bar, and use the Go To Web Address command -- WebChaperone will open the page
- in your new, fully-functional browser automatically!
