ScrubIT, New Technology Blocks Internet Pornography

SALT LAKE CITY – New technology now does what Congress and all of its attempts at legislation has failed to do — block access to adult content without creating government-mandated censorship. The technology, dubbed ScrubIT (www.scrubit.com), by its developers, is a free, effective and user-friendly technology now available to help families, schools and businesses to block unwanted Internet content, said Anthony Webb, president of ScrubIT.

The simple one-click approach to virtually porn-proofing a computer was first spread on blogs only a few weeks ago. Since then, ScrubIT’s ease of use and comprehensive effectiveness has won users throughout the U.S., Europe and Asia Pacific, including businesses and churches.

“We developed ScrubIT because we know families, churches, and businesses are tired of the plague of pornographic and malicious websites,” Webb said.. “We’re excited for the possibilities this technology has to protect children from the dangers of pornography on the internet. This has been quickly embraced because of the free cost and its availability.”

For businesses and other organizations, ScrubIT is now testing a more advanced version of the DNS server that will allow IT managers to select specific additional sites that they choose to block. That may include sites that employees use for non-work purposes such as entertainment, shopping, gambling, or sites that promote hate.

“This is not a software solution, it works by routing all Internet traffic to a home or business router through a designated DNS server,” said company Vice President Jerome Bennett.

With a click of a button, all websites get routed through the special ScrubIT DNS server. No software or firewall is needed to use the service.

ScrubIT was developed on the premise that everyone should have access to all the good the web has to offer without having to worry about stumbling across those things that many people find objectionable. While the web has been become the No. 1 outside resource for almost everyone in the world, it has also become the marketing method of choice for pornographers and pedophiles. By "scrubbing" the internet squeaky-clean with ScrubIT, you will not have to worry about your family or employees ever being confronted with this type of material.

Developers plan to provide basic service at no cost, then possibly offer a paid plan later that would include the ability to customize your internet surfing experience by specifying specific sites you don’t want your family or employees to visit.

In addition to pornographic sites, there are a host of other sites that are notorious time-wasters. Can you imagine being able to put a block on certain sites? The cable TV people have been doing it for years. This is an idea that has finally come of age on the internet.)”


Webb and Bennett are available for interviews.
