BrowserLock (TM) Business Edition

BrowserLock is a combination of both a "personal" Internet portal and a Web access filter. A portal is an Internet gateway - the first site, or the "launch pad", which users make their initial point of access to the Internet. A portal is usually a simple page, held on a remote Web server, that has links to other areas on the Internet. 48% of web advertising revenue is generated by sellers promoting their products and services on portals - a reflection of their function as "Internet road maps".

BrowserLock is a user-defined, client-side portal, which resides on the user's own machine, and which also has the ability to restrict Web access to only those sites which are listed. That is, the user has complete control over which Web sites the portal offers links to. Users can update these sites by adding or deleting web-site addresses on the BrowserLock access list, and their "Personal Portal Page" is updated automatically. To get users started, BrowserLock comes ready supplied with the addresses of 3,000 sites which have already been catalogued by subject area. This list is by no means definitive - it is a guide for users.

And so that users can choose the way they want their portal to look in terms of colours, fonts and graphics, BrowserLock's graphic interface is fully customisable for a "pluggable look and feel".

When customers download BrowserLock from the www.browserlock.com website for the first time, each of the twelve high level categories¡¯ portal graphics depict famous gates from across the globe to emphasise that BrowserLock is a user¡¯s gateway to the World Wide Web. Education sector and business customers are offered the flexibility to brand the product as they so wish; adding an indexing system of their own specific sites of interest at start-up, so as to best tailor BrowserLock to their own requirements.

BrowserLock offers:

Structured, easy access to information
using indexed and catalogued site lists to organise information

with the ability to use graphics, fonts and colours specific to users¡¯ personal requirements and/or taste

a password holder chooses what web sites they want on their portal, presenting them in a way that best suits their own needs
