Web Site Zapper

Web Site Zapper is a software utility that provides users with a simple means of controlling the access to the Internet, by blocking particular sites.

The installation process does not bring any kind of surprises, and it is over in a jiffy, while the interface you are met with present a minimal and clear-cut GUI. It is comprised only of a menu bar and a few buttons. Comprehensive Help contents are provided thus ensuring that both power and novice users can find their way around it, without encountering any kind of issues.

First and foremost, you should know that you can use this tool in order to limit your children or employees access to the Internet or just as a popup control app. Moreover, you can enable it only in your default web browser or all of the installed ones, while you can also block all browsers other than your default one.

The icon in the system tray can be hidden and it is possible to block the Task Manger, System Configuration Utility and Process Explorer. You can create good and bad site lists by inputting their URLs and titles, while there is also a built-in list you can take advantage of. Notices can be showed when blocking a page, while you can pause and resume blocking with just a click of the button.

To wrap it up, Web Site Zapper is a pretty decent piece of software when it comes to creating a few simple parent control options. Although the interface is not very easy on the eyes, it is intuitive, the response time is good and the resource requirements are minimal.
