What is MTAProtects?
MTAProtects is a web based internet security service that provides comprehensive protection for your computer regardless of how, when or even where you connect to the internet. It comes in three packages so you can pick which one best suits your needs.
Security
Parental Control
Email Filtering (stops Spam and Virus's)
We cannot stress strongly enough that it is the responsibility of each Net Citizen to ensure their computer is adequately protected.
There is no ONE guaranteed solution to all the Internet threats out there. We recommend that you use the three layer approach which is discussed in more detail under the protecting yourself page in the Virus section of this Web Page.
Broadband has transformed the way that we use the Internet and it has opened up a whole world of exciting opportunities for our families. Yet in common with many of life’s activities, the Internet is not without its perils. ‘Always On’ can mean ‘Always Vulnerable’.
MTAProtects is an essential service for anyone with a broadband connection who is seeking total protection and peace of mind.
MTA Protects offers 3 vital services.
Internet Security - This is more commonly referred to as a Firewall. Firewalls keep hackers and malicious programs out of your PC.
Email Filtering - MTA Protects blocks virus's and spam from getting into your machine.
Family Protection - Part of the Internet Security program is an optional service allows you to protect your children when they're on the Internet.
Once MTAProtects is installed on your computer you are provided with total parental control and internet security the moment you connect to the internet - automatically and instantly. Combining core functionality of a Firewall, Anti Virus, Anti Spyware, Web Filtering/Blocking, Instant Messenger & Usage control with comprehensive reporting - MTAProtects enables your family to surf the web safely and securely.
The MTAProtects service can operate on up to 3 separate computers/laptops (they do not need to be physically connected or located together) which you then manage centrally via on online Control Center. This unique feature guarantees that your family are protected regardless of when, how or where they connect to the internet - at school/college, in a café, at work - it doesn't matter!
The online Control Center forms the heart of the MTAProtects service, and it is here that you can customize and set the rules for each member of your family, change your settings, and view all of the activity reports of your family members. The reports are provided for each user, showing what web sites they have visited, how long they have spent on specific applications, and full details of any instant message conversations that they may have had.
- Even if you choose not to use MTAProtects, if you have children in the house, please become aware of this issue.
