What does SafetyMinder actually "block"?

 

Does it actually BLOCK a blacklisted/banned website from linking to and accessing my computer? Like a "firewall".

 

...OR....

 

Does it only BLOCK the DISPLAY of that website on my computer monitor?  Like if I simply put my hand over the images or turned the monitor "off", but left the computer "on".

 

I think it is a good product and very useful, and would like to better understand what it does...exactly.

 

Thanks!  :-D

Thanks, Matt!

That's the response I was hoping for.  :-D

 

I appreciate all of the hard work you and your colleagues do to improve your products and address customers' needs.
