Cleaning up your family computer

Snitch can be used by parents to control their family's exposure to inappropriate material, by detecting and removing pornography on computer hard drives. Snitch empowers parents to proactively scan and clean up their own computer of offensive or inappropriate files.

This allows a much higher degree of control over pornographic material on the computer, which is critical in households where children participate in use of the computer, and must not be accidentally exposed to damaging imagery. Unlike other parental controls, Snitch is designed to cleanup after events that have inadvertently left unwanted image and video files scattered around your computer hard drive.

How does this help you as a parent?

Snitch features a number of different detection algorithms that can automatically analyse suspect files such as pictures, movies, compressed files, documents, Internet history, etc. and determine whether they contain nudity, or other adult content which is undesirable for kids to find on their home computer. Snitch is handy so that parents don't have to manually find and sort through perhaps tens of thousands of images and other file types that may be hidden in various folders around the hard drive. This simple and automated detection process allows for parental control of the content of the home computer.

Parents are of course welcome to download their trial copy of Snitch parental controls software and test the software for themselves.
