Overview

My Internet Doorman offers a unique process for filtering content on the Internet.
While others rely solely on human reviewers to detect and harvest Web content, My Internet Doorman's proprietary process uses a unique combination of human review, technology, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). This process minimizes "over blocking" associated with denied access to sites regarding breast cancer, sex education, religion, and health. Intelligent filtering -like the processes employed by
My Internet Doorman-is the only way to ensure accurate categorization of Web content.

Listed below are the current categories of content that My Internet Doorman currently filters.

• Adware
  Adware, while not necessarily malware or spyware, is advertising that goes beyond what one would reasonably expect while surfing the Internet. Banner ads and pop-up ads in this category can be used to track your activity and display ads based on your surfing patterns. Ads and other marketing materials are typically drawn from an ad server at a different site. This category contains URLs that are advertisements. If you block the adware category, many portal pages may appear broken -what is actually happening is that the advertisements are being blocked while the main content is still displayed. Most frequently visited web pages are actually composed dynamically, drawing data from several sources at once. Each portion of a page drawn in from a unique location is categorized and filtered separately.
