Internet filter

Is there an Internet filter program equivalent to some parental filters? I need something that cannot be uninstalled of modified without master password. Something equivalent to k9 windows software.

Anything can be easily uninstalled - I think you're SOL.

Here is an option for filtering the Market:

Any internet filter is going to be useless anyway because of the countless options for bypassing them.

Best I've found is a monitor. X3watch emails a person of your choice a report of any suspicious websites visited on your phone. Not a filter, but it lets you know what's happening on your phone so you can catch any problems. Easily disabled, but it reports that, too. So you know if it is being bypassed.

x3watch apparently is only for froyo and based on reviews not good on updates.
Anyone else know of any other software filter?

ChadZ,
Would you provide a little more information please? For example lets say this is your phone and when you get home from work you let your little ones use it. But you do not want them wondering into the wrong site. As long as they are on wifi you control then Open DNS would work. And that would cover all your devices over that router.
If this is over the towers then that is a different ball game. But at that point do you really think you have prevented the porn searches? If the little one is out in public all they have to do is go to a friends house or use their phone. At that point education seems like a better option.

Google announces privacy changes across products; users can’t opt out

Do you think anyone can develope a program to prevent google from capturing this information about their users? Maybe at least on a android based platform even. This really chaps my a$$
Code:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/google-tracks-consumers-across-products-users-cant-opt-out/2012/01/24/gIQArgJHOQ_story.html?wpisrc=al_comboNE_b

Whats the big deal? Google cuts down on paperwork and the policies haven't changed, they are just merged/ It eliminated redundancies and wasted effort.
what difference does it make if you are giving your personal information to Gmail or to youtube? If google has it, Google has it, period. It is still a Google based service, combining the private policies of all of the services into one makes perfect sense.
Google has stated they still have no plans to change how they handle the data.

The big deal is I NEVER CLICK YES for gooble to collect anything on me, which means I "opt-out" now I have a contract on a phone I dont want to touch. great, a 700$ paperweight , not including the service. screw you google.

I will not tap "yes" for google
Are you sure that they are 700 $?

Rage! An ad/marketing company makes my OS and wants to show me ads relevant to me rather than random ads. A company wants to make money off of a product they've created and are heavily vested in? Who'd have thunk it?
Don't like it? There's other choices out there. WP7 is pretty hot ;-)

Wait til wp7 phones get ads lol
Have to say though to op its not like google are pushing ads to your device. If you browse net you get same problem. I think they have messed up somewhere cos on my laptop I always get ads for things I already have. But I don't get ads on my phone unless on a webpage or using an ad funded app so no different to a pc or any internet device.

But the point is google aren't sending ads any different than on a pc. Whatever phone pc or tablet people use makes no difference, google and others can and do still collect data when you browse.
And some collect other data even when you opt out such as wp7 collecting user data that caused them to get sued last year. Its impossible to have a smartphone and not have someone collect data of some sort.

Color me intrigued, what makes Microsoft more evil than google?

What would be the best way to avoid this?
a problem I could see is if like, I have my son over on a weekend and he jumps on...idk, nickelodeon. com or something, will it show ads for all the porn sites I visit?
I sure as hell wouldn't want him reporting that to his mother and even possibly the appropriate authorities...

just curious but in what way is this different, if not dramatically worse, than everything CarrierIQ was accused of a few months back.

I wonder if this will affect things like StartPage which bills itself as being completely private but is "enhanced by Google"

This is why I have dead email addresses. I've got one for Gmail just for my phone. Never use it for anything else. Just the phone.
Don't Be Evil, just make lots and lots of money.

The real problem is the internet. There are always the spammers that get a kick out of just breaking someone else's things, and that's why almost all websites log things. It also creates privacy concerns for those trying to follow the rules. So if it bothers you so much that Google knows you search for a laptop, and it suggests that there is a better, cheaper one, next time you use gmail, then you have problems. I personally love this, now when I go between Google services, I don't have to log in again. Google provides you with great services for free, why not give them the ability to advertise to you? The world is dangerous, get over it.
Or you could do the most practical thing, ad block. Its on Firefox and chrome, so that should cover almost everybody. If your stuck with ie, well, god help you.

You agreed to their terms of service. As has been pointed out, the information is used so they can show ads that pertain to you specifically. I view this as a good thing.
If you don't want a company to know your browsing and purchasing habits, you should buy a cabin in the woods and live off the grid, no electronics, no grocery stores, completely self sufficient.
Good luck!

How much would you trust a random keylogger found on google? It would be easy for someone with malicious intents to include a malware in that keylogger that would send everything on a server or pastebin.
It's not a good thing to spy on people, even using your phone, and it may be illegal in some states/countries, but your best bet would be to make one all by yourself, using a keyboard application template.

for sure it's being used to catch cheating spouse, keylog mainly use to gather info and evidence before we getting divorce.

for that just check phone bill, you can see numbers and times somewhere, no need for keylogger for that.
anyway if in relationship with no trust, its not good anyways...

Gary. Sorry you need it dude. Like others have said its a very dodgy thing to get. Unless it's from an A1 source you will have your bank details etc ripped.
I'd go the other way. Look for a call recording app, that can be set to record all calls, then use the setting in apps to hide it.
I got a recording app that picks up both sides but is not automatic. I'm sure there is one if you look.
As with both these methods in some States its illegal, &can get you in deep dodo ...

Good time to reply

I think if you need a keylogger youre enfringing a persons privacy. How would you feel if someone uses that on you?
if there is doubt, there is no doubt, a relationship without trust is like a house build on quicksand
it will also not prove anything in court, cause it illegal

Not every one will think for others

Yes, now most forum users just provide the related-answer to the OP, won't think such kind of moral or law issues too much. I saw a lot of users offered iKeyMonitor android spy app for Samsung, which seems very famous in this field, but I don't think it is a good tool in catching a cheating spouse. The relationship can be broken up by using the tools. ikeymonitor.com

Your requirement is very easy to meet because there are so many keylogger apps online now! is one of the most powerful keyloggers that you can trust. , it is downloaded for free, just see it by yourself, I don't plan to post an ad to you.

Well
There was MobileSpy, but they operated under U.S. law, lost a case and notified all users they were being monitored and shared whatever data they had on the "installer" with the recipient. Mspy looks like it's going to go the same way soon. Assuming it's for legal purposes I would use the "new" A1 Keylogger is cool, they have always been offshore, been around since 2009 and the stuff works on Android, PC and pretty much everything. They are under a new name now, but it's the same developer.
We use some of their stuff as a network monitor, you can monitor 10 PC's in your office in one dashboard. So it makes an affordable monitor for those not big enough to have a server closet.

iKeyMonitor don't work...Stops logging and sending notifications for no reason

Keylogger is the best tactic for keeping your company record safe from hackers . By installing it in your PC may leads with many advantages such as you can monitor all the works done by the user from your computer because this software will track all the records in every single seconds.

[Q] Asus TF700t Ubuntu/Android Dual Boot?

If you really are an IT student, you should have been told by now that a search function comes in really handy, and surprise, surprise, we have one on XDA. You could also have taken the pretty limited effort of browsing the forums and you would have stumbled upon several threads in which we commented more in-depth.
Considering you didn't make any effort at all besides typing this (in the wrong forum to boot), I can't be arsed to direct you to the threads themselves. Use the search function, and read the XDA forum policy -- it's actually one of the rules in here.
Have I already said you should use the search function?
And to be honest, not being able to do ALL your homework on a portable Android device shouldn't have come as a surprise. Do your homework next time before buying into an ecosystem and hardware.
People are expecting other people to take them by the hand more and more. I see less and less people able to fend for themselves, not only here, but in the real world, too.

Ideas for a 12 year old girl?

I have a 12 year old sister and she's not really "normal"
She's a bit slow in social terms and not much of a fast learner. Her father bought her a laptop for Christmas and I was really wanting to get her every Friday and just show her some tricks and tips and help her with her homework. Would be nice to influence her in some way because I believe she really needs it.
But I'm not much of a teacher when it comes to technology. I can do just about anything technically but I can't really explain even how to stop "Do you want this to be your default browser" popups to people who aren't so tech savvy.
What should I do? I've already showed her a YouTube series to watch for "Beginning with Windows 7" or something but she still doesn't really understand. I got it to where she can text me through Gmail but I still have to go up there a few times and click on my name because she doesn't understand how to open the chat window back up.
Any ideas? She doesn't really have a good computer. I couldn't even get those cheap "iSpy" games at Walmart to run stable. I plan to show her how to use Google and Wikipedia for school but what's something fun for a 12 year old girl? Besides Facebook. I doubt her Father would allow that.

Really? I never watch the news anymore. They dramatize serious subjects and it just ticks me off.
But yeah, I figured I could spend more time with her. She really has no one to really teach her anything, no offense to our parents. But she's getting to the age where I think she should consider taking things like education more seriously. I dropped out and getting into college was hell. My older Brother graduated but is nothing but a labor slave. Her Father and our Mother has their issues as well so she really has no role model. I think I should be more involved so if she does want to do something with her life, she doesn't have to go down the hard path like I have.

The minimum age for Facebook is 13 I thought so it may not be appropriate for her. And if by not "normal" you mean she's developmentally disabled her actual age she acts might even be younger than 12 and she would be vulnerable to predators on Facebook and other social media sites so be careful there. Opening her up to the world of the internet might not be a good call if you don't have appropriate parental guards in place on the pc she's using. Predators look for kids just like your sister, the most vulnerable are the easiest prey. I would at the least only let her on-line supervised by an adult and make sure she can't get on-line by herself.
And you can only teach her as much as you know. So the best bet is to learn more yourself and then you will be a better teacher. I have grown adults at work who have used pc's for at least the last 18 years and they still ask me do the simplest of tasks for them so she may never figure it all out. Turning it on and playing a game may be all she can do, hell that's all my boss can do.

Does she have any interest in programming by some chance? Or the general concept of it (being able to tell computers what to do)?
Could try learning some Java/Android coding (for Android coding, probably want to learn some Java first). Seeing example code you written actually run might be pretty cool

What about voice recognition software like Dragon? It could be fun for her and also help her with technology?

I apologize, but yes this is intended for XDA General.
I was shopping around last night and this morning and I'm thinking of getting her a used iPod from GameStop to play games with and stuff. Really the issue is that she's growing up and everybody still babies her like her 10 year old sister. I think the laptop is the only thing she's really proud of as her room is piled with dolls and Barbie's. The iPod is only $80 and maybe a $20 iTunes gift card. I don't know what music she likes. She doesn't even know who Justin Bieber or One Direction is.
