    Hi guys, long time no shmooze. I haven’t posted here in quite some time, in fact, I had this site K9ed, which brings me to my question.

    I got a computer for work, which consists of storing, editing, and exporting hundreds of gigs of photos. (For those who remember my dabbling in photography, it has since become a large part of my income.)

    I also use the internet. That needs a filter. My old computer had K9, but I do not want to download anything that’ll slow this new machine down. Can someone point me in the direction of a filter that will either block or notify a 3rd party about internet abuse and doesn’t require a download?

    I don’t mind a small monthly fee if I gain in performance.

    “k9 doesnt really slow things down/”

    I was thinking the same thing. Especially if you have a computer specifically for photo editing and the like, I would imagine it is particularly fast.

    Web chaver, and they have a cloud filter. I don’t think I had to download anything when I had it, and it didn’t slow down my computer or internet, unlike other filters I tried.

    Most of the filters and 3rd party monitoring do not slow things down.

    Filter-Venishmartem Cloud Filter or K9

    3rd party – Webchaver

    I just checked K9- 27000 writes, 8000 reads. Thats too much.

    I don’t wan to lose the particularly-fast-keit to any filters.

    gofish- have you looked up the actual tech specs, whether it uses RAM, CPU, etc.? Thanks

    Thanks all- I’ll look into venishmartem and Webchaver

    Sorry Toi, I don’t remember if I did or didn’t. I do remember being pleasantly surprised at how fast everything was working – I had filters before that really slowed things down. I suggest you contact Webchaver directly and ask them that, they have helpful, fast support there.

    Toi: to average users K9 is not noticeable. It may also depend on what you have K9 set to block. What program are you using to check the read/writes?

    you could also use safe eyes its a very reliable system which was bought by macafee so its secure too. I have it and it doesn’t slow me down one bit.

    I would suggest NetSpark

    it’s very reliable & highly costumizable
