Spector Pro allows you to set specific times when Internet access is blocked. This is especially helpful for parents who want to limit their child's use of the Internet during unsupervised times, but not necessarily all the time. You may block all Internet access or select specific functions which are listed.
Do not set up a schedule if you want to blocking to apply 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
You use the computer at certain times of the day and you do not want to block your access to the Internet, but you do want 10-year-Sally to have access to the Internet while she's at home with the babysitter and you're a work.
Make sure that all applications on the desktop are CLOSED. Otherwise, changes to the settings will not take effect.
To set up a blocking schedule:
From the Block Internet Access pane:
Click the Blocking Schedule button. The When to Block Internet Access window opens.
Click the Only block during the following times (otherwise all times). At this point, the solid green grid indicates that no blocking has been scheduled. As you proceed, you are adding blocking intervals.
