TerminatorX can be used over Novell and NT server networks and also works with Windows workstations on a Unix network or Linux network. TerminatorX can be set up to work locally on portable computers and can be used on peer-to-peer network configurations that have no server.

 

As well as stopping web messengers, using TerminatorX has advantages over port blocking. It can:

• Block different sets of programs for different types of users.
• Stop single-user games
• Block unwanted web sites
• Block newer versions of Kazaa etc. which swap port numbers and even use port 80 - the normal web page port.

 

Whether at work, school or home, file sharing programs like KaZaA, messenger programs and chat rooms -

• Might be used for illegal downloading of pirate music and software - risking prosecution while letting hackers and viruses in!
• Can tie up valuable internet bandwidth
• Reduce productivity and efficiency of employees and students.

TerminatorX offers an easy and effective method of stopping users (employees or children) running time-wasting or dangerous applications.
