Blue Coat K9 Web Protection is a content filtering solution for the home computer. Its job is to provide a family-safe Internet experience, where parents control the Internet content that enters their homes. K9 Web Protection implements the same enterprise-class web filtering technology used by Blue Coat's corporate and government customers around the world, wrapped in simple, friendly, and reliable software for a family's Windows 2000 or Windows XP computer.

Blue Coat's unique web filtering technology divides Internet content into more than 55 categories. These categories are stored in the master Blue Coat database, through which Blue Coat maintains and updates more than 15 million website and domains ratings. A website will fall into one or more of these categories, based on the content of the site. To meet a family's particular needs and preferences, parents can configure the software to block or allow specific categories.
