FamilyCLICK has ceased operating
its filtering service until further notice. The FamilyCLICK
management team is in discussions with the high-speed
Internet Service industry to offer FamilyCLICK parental
controls as an embedded feature like those offered by
dial-ups AOL, MSN and Earthlink.
We encourage all high-speed customers in particular
to contact their local high-speed provider and ask them
to offer parental controls as part of your monthly service.
Please continue to check our website for future developments
and announcements. Thanks for your interest and support
of FamilyCLICK. We strongly recommend continued use
of an online filter in combination with parental oversight
to more effectively safeguard children while they are
online.
FamilyCLICK Recommends Bsafe Online
In the interim, we recommend Bsafe Online for those
customers interested in utilizing a server-based filtering
solution. Bsafe Online will fulfill the remainder of
all FamilyCLICK subscriptions. You can contact Bsafe
at support@bsafeonline.com
Current customers must deactivate and uninstall
FamilyCLICK
FamilyCLICK customers must deactivate and uninstall
FamilyCLICK if you want to access the Internet. Here's
how:
- Go to Start-Run. Type "regedit" and hit enter.
- In the Registry Editor on the left side expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER by clicking on the "+" beside it.
- Under HKEY_CURRENT_USER expand Software.
- Under Software expand Policies.
- Under Policies expand Microsoft.
- Under Microsoft expand Internet Explorer.
- Click on the folder icon next to Control Panel. This will reveal 3 icons in the right side of the split screen. Make sure the address at the bottom of the screen reads exactly as follows:
My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel
- Double click in the right side of the split screen on the icon next to Autoconfig. This will open a small window titled "Edit DWORD Value".
- Change the value data to a zero (just press the zero on your keypad) and click OK.
- Repeat step 8 for the icon next to Proxy in the screen on the right below Autoconfig.
- Click on the "X" in the upper right corner of your screen to close the Windows Registry Editor.
Now you need to remove the FamilyCLICK settings in your browser.
- Open Control Panel and click on Internet Options, then click on Connections.
- If the Internet connection is via a dial up telephone modem, in the middle of the screen is a white box listing dial up settings. Locate the setting marked (default) and click on it, highlighting it in blue. Next to this on the right click on Settings. Delete the address next to "Use an Automatic configuration script" and then remove the check mark next to it.
If the Internet connection is via DSL or cable, just click on the LAN Settings button in the bottom right of the window. Delete the address next to "Use an Automatic configuration script" and then remove the check mark next to it.
The FamilyCLICK settings have now been removed and the next time you launch your browser you should not be prompted to sign in to FamilyCLICK.
