EtherGuard

EtherGuard monitors both outgoing and incoming data to protect
your children, your employees, and yourself against network and
Internet intrusions.

1. The program opens with the EtherGuard “Welcome” screen.

2. The screen contains four main menu items. The same menu

items are also available from the EtherGuard toolbar icon.
The EtherGuard icon on the toolbar will change should the
EtherGuard program detect an attempt to attack the network.

3. The “Enable” and “Disable” menu items allow you to start and

stop the EtherGuard program, “Statistic” provides network
traffic information, and “Advance” sets advanced filter
controls. Access to the Enable, Disable, and Advance menu
items may be password restricted. To prevent unauthorized
changes to the EtherGuard settings, you should set a
password. Click “Help.” A menu will open.
