Categories are lists of domains (Internet sites) with something in common. The Spector 360 Database provides a set of System Categories that cover inappropriate domains from "Adult Sexually Explicit" to "Web-based Email." You cannot edit or delete the System Categories, but you can choose whether or not to include them in your filtering rules. Custom Categories are lists of domains that you define yourself. Define your own Custom Categories to augment the system categories or to develop new areas of the Internet to block or allow.

Updated System Categories will be provided with your Spector 360 upgrades. |
