Snitch

Snitch is an application that was specifically built for detecting the presence of inappropriate materials in a computer, such as pornographic images and movies, illegal audio files, profanity, Internet sites containing pornography or pirated software, and other suspicious files.

It sports a clean and intuitive interface with many configurable settings. You can select the drivers that you want to be scanned, as well as exclude the specified folders from the list.

The application provides different search modes, namely quick, normal, complete and user-defined. The first one allows users to perform a quick search for the most common files, while the second looks for images, movies and Internet activity. The third mode might take some time, as it provides a thorough search procedure.

You can set up your own search process by configuring the dedicated parameters. You can make the program look for files by size and date, as well as scan the audio and video files by formats (e.g. MP3, WAV, AVI, MPEG, ASF, IVF, and others).

It is possible to exclude from the searching process files smaller or larger than a specified value, as well as check only the files that have been opened within the specified month. You can also search for a specific file by entering its name, as well as apply some filters to locate files by attributes (date of creation, last access or last modification).

At the end of the search operation, Snitch displays reports about the audio, image, video, Internet, obscenity, user-defined and compressed results. The items considered to be suspicious can be opened, copied to a specified directory, deleted, or added to the safe list. The reports can be exported to HTML, RTF or plain text.

To sum things up, Snitch proves to be a handy application that can help you locate illicit and obscene materials by scanning your local drivers. The program bundles many useful features and a clean layout, and it definitely appeals to beginners and experts alike.
