Hi

I wish to ask the following two questions:

1.Under what provider is the computer protected while on online games?
2.With what provider is web mail like Gmail,Yahoo etc protected ?

Thanks and regards

  1. it entirely depends on what ports and protocols it uses when you are playing games. The web shield only monitors http traffic on port 80.

  2. The web shield would monitor any webmail activity as it is viewed through your browser and not an email client.

If you downloaded your gmail using an email client that would normally be done using secure email (SSL) and as such can’t be scanned (the whole point of secure email). There are steps that you can take to use a third party tool STunnel so it can be scanned, but that requires settings up.

Standard Shield or, in some cases, WebShield (like David said) and Script blocker (Professional version).

WebShield (if you’re not into https communication) and Standard Shield.
