Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Some of my privacy, anti-spam and anti-virus programs are not functioning correctly, can I run other applications on the same machine as the secureweb?

A: When running multiple applications simultaneously that are designed to filter or block online access controls the issue of conflicts will almost always arise. This is not an indication that a particular application is necessarily better than another but rather that they might be competing for control. Therefore, if you encounter that previously installed applications such as, C-Privacy or FlashClean for example are not working correctly, it is recommended that you disable these applications after installing the secureweb.

Q: When I try to install the secureweb it states that I must uninstall my Google Desktop Search (GDS), why is this and what should I do?

A: Applications which modify your network settings in order to filter or block objectionable Internet content, conflict with Google Desktop Search. During the initial installation process the secureweb will browse to determine if the Google Desktop Search (GDS) is installed on the same PC. If it is, follow these steps; stop the secureweb installation process; uninstall GDS Desktop Search; reinstall GDS.

TIP: Back up your Google Desk top index directory so that you can copy it back after reinstalling to prevent having to re-index.

Q: I see a 'not compatible' or 'network settings' error message after installing the secureweb when running Google Desktop, what should I do?

A: Uninstall the Google Desktop software and then reinstall it. Tip: Back up your Google Desk top index directory so that you can copy it back after reinstalling to prevent having to re-index.

Q: Why is my Yahoo Messenger locking up or unable to connect to the server?

A: Check to see if you have selected to Block Instant Messaging. If so, Yahoo Messenger is attempting to connect to the server but it is unable to because it is being blocked by the secureweb.

Q: Why won't the software install past the User and Password Screen

A: Do you have a firewall blocking the internet access, if you do, make sure that TCP Port 3433 is opened.
