New algorithm
Apply unique statistic and probabilistic methods to train filters
to profile WebPages.
Using our experience with Bayesian Networks, classification techniques,
probability and statistics, and proprietary heuristics, we have developed a
filter engine that can create a category filter with as little as 10 - 50
websites for a particular category that has an accuracy rate of 95-99%, with a
low over-blocking rate.

Dynamic web content filtering
Allow for adaptable dynamic content filtering.
Google states they have searched over 4,000,000,000 web pages, and this number
is growing daily. Since most web filters currently available rely on
blacklists, which based on product claims contain between 5 and 20 million
websites, there is a large gap between the total number of websites and the
largest blacklists in use.

No White/Blacklist maintenance
There are several problems with blacklists:
-
How can an accurate blacklist be maintained with the large number of websites
available, and with that number growing?
-
How can a blacklist be accurate when the content of websites can change at any
time?
-
How can the blacklist method be efficient if you have to lookup a website in a
database with billions of URLs?
-
How can a blacklist be effective when a bypass proxy server is used?
